Hi,

For example, how can I find the elisp info doc for `mapconcat'  right
inside emacs?

Use command `info-lookup-symbol', bound by default to `C-h S'.

But first, put the cursor in a buffer that is in Emacs-Lisp mode.

Either do that, or

    C-u C-h S emacs-lisp-mode RET mapconcat RET

If you (the OP) do this several times a day, you can
do something like this and bind it to a shortcut:

    (defun info-lookup-elisp-symbol (symbol)
      (interactive "Ssymbol: ")
      (info-lookup-symbol symbol 'emacs-lisp-mode))

It can be polished even further with a default to the
symbol at point, however it is only educative to have
to spell out the whole function name when you look
it up.

Hi,

'c-h S' works fine, before I encounter this command "deleter-char".

'c-h S' takes me to:
(emacs)Top > Killing > Deletion and Killing > Deletion

However, I'd like it go to:
(elisp)Top > Text > Deletion

Regards.
