yeah, ALT+H
Alt-H?? all systems i know use "F1" for help, except apple which uses
"Cmd-?"
On most of the software I've used "F1" is a shortcut for general help for the program-- not for specific results based on what happens to be selected inside the program. Case in point: Supercollider, which has "F1" for a help browser and some other key bindings for getting class help based on what's selected in the editor.
whatever shortcut is fine, the point is not having to use the mouse.
on a (keyboard) selected object would open its help file.. that would be sweet =)
esp. when doing "Ctrl-a, F1"
Which is a good reason why "F1" usually doesn't give variable results based on the state of editor.
As for "<Control-a>, <Control-h>", it could open all the help patches (similar to what <Cmd-i> does-- or at least did-- on a Mac).
this would have to be checked of course ;)
