While in Helm Help mode -- the help buffer that pops up when you hit C-c ? in a helm buffer -- I am unable to do anything but scroll up and down. I can not select text (neither with mouse nor with keys), or C-s search or anything!

Is this a feature or a bug? Can I change this behavior, and have, say, a regular read-only buffer, where at the minimum text selection works?

Thanks

    I believe it's by design, but I'm also interested in ways to "escape" to the buffers helm creates...

    You should submit a feature request to Helm maintainer through Github.
