I fully agree with you, it's _very_ nice, very helpful and I use it all
the time :-)

For those who don't know, it works like this: you're writing C | S-Lang |
SH | LaTeX code. The cursor is on a keyword (eg \texttt in LaTeX) and
you don't remember what it's for. Then you press a key, say, Esc-F1: a new
window pops up that contains the relevant man page | function help | shell
help | info page.

Should I make a tarball for people to try out?

Ciao,
