First one does not have to know about the `s' keys function in this case, then one does not have to hit the `s' key, its simply there and easily ignored if not necessary. Lastly hitting the `s' key opens another buffer in another window (at least for me) and (also at least for me), at surprising locations in my frame. I have a UHD monitor and, at least the way I configured it, emacs opens up to 4 windows, the help buffer and the source buffer not necessarily adjunct. All 4 windows can carry 92 lines, so there is plenty of room below the text in the help buffer to show more info. helpful, the package, made life insofar easier for me. Ciao; Gregor
