> How about filing a feature-request bug report about this?

I may do that, I just asked here, because it seemed strange that
the help buffer missed such a basic feature, though I think many
elisp developers like me wanted to navigate to info from help in
the past.

And also, I very often go to the source code of a function from
Help to peruse it, so the s key (also unbound) could go to the
source code quickly.

Emacs uses single key bindings extensively elsewhere where the
buffer is read only, so it's curious the addition of such quick
keys did not come up before during the long history of emacs development.
