Is there a way to use gnome-do to launch some man page in the help GUI? Or some other two-click approach I could employ?



I can open help and then use Ctrl+L to open man:find -- can I make that even faster?

yelp man:find



In case the command you wish to find shares its name with a command in a different section, specify which section in parentheses after the command, and enclose the whole argument in quotations to escape read the parentheses literally:



yelp man:printf      # shell command: search defaulted to section 1
yelp 'man:printf(3)' # library call: search for printf in section 3
yelp man:printf(3) # bash: syntax error near unexpected token `('

yelp 'man:exit(2)' # system calls to terminal process
yelp 'man:exit(3)' # library call to do the same
