To add to the `C-x C-e` method, the below will do the same if the user is
not already in an Info buffer,

C-h i g (emacs) Easy Customization

If the user is already in an Info buffer, they need to just do

g (emacs) Easy Customization

In any info node, the node name is copied using `w`, "(emacs) Easy
Customization" in above case.

Of course, if the user is not familiar with info nodes and navigating them,
they should first start with `C-h i h`. That will launch the info manual on
how to use info.
