While grepping, I noticed problems with `list-faces-display' and
`list-character-sets'. These say: "Use <mouse-2> or M-x help-follow"
in their introductory text, even though `M-x help-follow' is bound to
RET in these buffers.
How about making them use help-follow-symbol instead of help-follow?
Wouldn't that make them work right?
It might actually be good to make `M-x help-follow' work correctly on
references again, by restoring part of the old `help-follow-mouse' and
`help-follow' code. This would allow binding them to other keys than
mouse-{1,2} or RET. The patch to help-mode.el below does that.
It entirely keeps the new behavior. The only difference is that
`M-x help-follow' would once again work on cross references and that
it could be rebound.
I do not understand this proposal at all. help-follow now does
exactly the right thing for help buffers: it has a useful doc string
but it always gets an error. I don't see why we should change that.
If some other mode wants a different command, make a different command
for it.
So why not use help-follow-symbol?
