Try the attached patch. It shows no prompt, so you can just type C-h M-h s and
it will pop source in another window. I don't have any feel of being "prompted".

But that is extra work; this solution does it for free, and will work with
future commands in help-mode, if they get defined, no?

What is the difference and extra benefit? It is still "same typing"? It
effectively acts like a prefix key since it is executed in help-mode buffer; it
is same effect as putting help-mode-map on a prefix key. And one can rebind the
function to any key; maybe someone can find some easier to type shortcut than
C-h M-h? I am sorry but I probably just don't understand what you are asking
for.
