[ESS-bugs] ess-mode 5.3.6; Suggest that some ESS[S] mode bindings also work in ESS Help mode

[Martin Maechler]

Hi Tim,

If at all possible, I'd like such proposals "in public", i.e.,
ESS-help, not ESS-bugs; such that other ESS users can profit
from them the dialogue and/or contribute themselves...

Is it ok for you if I'm replying CC ESS-help ?

Regards,
Martin
