You forget the need to switch to the *Help* buffer before typing 'c', don't you? And that need to go to *Help* is, for me, the single significant annoyance with Help commands. For example, I frequently want to look at the source of a function whose doc string I just requested, and its a nuisance to have to click on the button there or go to the *Help* buffer, find the button, and press RET. So how about some special prefix key and a keymap to allow invoking these commands from a buffer other than *Help*? > diff --git a/lisp/help-mode.el b/lisp/help-mode.el > index 48cf435f97..24b7ffaa2a 100644 > --- a/lisp/help-mode.el > +++ b/lisp/help-mode.el No changes in documentation to go with this? Thanks.
