Open function help file in Help pane - shortcut?

francisbarton · October 13, 2020, 10:52am

In the same vein as F2/Ctrl+click to jump to the source for a function, is there a shortcut to open the Help page for a function? A shortcut to searching help (or even better than searching, it would go the specific help page for a function, if the function was already prefixed with the package name:: to eliminate ambiguity).

I can't see any shortcut for this already in RStudio, nor have I found anything through googling.

Should there be one? Or does anyone know if there's already an add-in that provides this?

D'oh! It's just F1. How did I forget that?
It's a surprisingly hard thing to get google results for - it's too obvious, clearly!

That was really embarrassing.
