I for instance did not know that hitting the `s' key would
show me the source.

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
