I think what ehelp currently does by default, makes no sense -
it puts the *Help* buffer in fundamental-mode instead of help-mode.
Please look at the code in `with-electric-help':
;; We should really get a usable *Help* buffer when retaining
;; the electric one with `r'. The problem is that a simple
;; call to help-mode won't cut it; at least RET is bound wrong
;; afterwards. It's also not clear that `help-mode' is always
;; the right thing, maybe we should add an optional parameter.
(condition-case ()
(funcall (or (default-value 'major-mode) 'fundamental-mode))
(error nil))
Ehelp creates a problem and tries to solve it in an ugly way.
