First, giving an answer for more than one event is impossible for "C-h c"; not
without a complete redesign of how we present the results. Until very
recently, we would show only the first event, which is useless for 90% of mouse
clicks, since very few commands are bound to down-events. This has been a
source of constant annoyance for me for years, and now is finally solved. So
this is some progress.
For "C-h k", we probably should indeed show all the events, but the previous
solution to show the down-event first was problematic here as well, as it
showed the much less important event first, and a user who is in a hurry might
not pay attention to the rest.
In most cases, there are 2 or less events to show, so Alan's patch that tells
users how to get help on the down-event is a good stopgap, IMO. In general, we
should probably redesign how these multiple events are described, but that's a
job for master, not for the release branch.
