Following is on Mac using Tiger and Mathematica 7:
If I type a command -- e.g., "TraditionalForm" -- in a notebook cell and
hit Cmd-Shift-F (or Help key on extended keyboard), Help Browser opens
with focus in the Search field at the top of the window.
Haven't found a key command to get focus from there into anywhere in the
window itself: Arrow keys, Tab key, Cmd-A, don't seem to do it. ???
Mouse click will shift focus to the Help Browser window, but you have to
be careful to either click between cells, or after clicking use Arrow
keys to get cursor between cells.
Cmd-A will then select all cells (or groups), and Cmd-Shift-{ will open
all of them.
So, four (or 5+) key commands and one mouse click to get from notebook
cell to More Info items this way. I'd prefer having More Info be open
by default when Help Browser window opens, meaning _one_ key command
from notebook cell to More Info info.
More Info list is usually pretty short; the Examples header and start of
example cells is generally visible below it on the initial screen. And
it's the natural place to alert first-time info seekers to gotchas or
other warnings, for those few Mathematica commands that may need such
warnings.
