Hi Arthur, I like this. I'm often reading some documentation while testing things into the current buffer so I think I would be a great addition. I'm testing your patch now (and will report any issue if needed). As a potential future user, I have some comments/requests: - Could it be extend to Man buffers? I think it would even be more useful than *Help* buffers which are short most of the time (or maybe it is just me). - Is it possible to have repeat mode for this? So one could do "C-h M-i SPC SPC SPC DEL" to browse some info pages. - Could we have a "umbrella" keybinding that does this for some common denominator functions the other "documentation" buffer (be it *info*, *Help* or a man page)?
