C-h f 2C-two-columns shows this:
... (see h ).
That should be something like "Use `h' for help on the mode."
The reason for this is that you typed the command while in a mode
that binds h to describe-mode.
This isn't a bug, but it sure is unhelpful. I wonder what
is the right thing to do here. We could get the right behavior
in this case by changing the \\[...] construct to always use
Fundamental mode. But that would give the wrong behavior
in some other cases.
We could fix this one this way:
! \\<global-map>When called the first time, associates a buffer
Sure. If 2C has no mode itself, then global-map is the right map to use, I
think.
Actually, my bug report wasn't for that. It was just to say that the doc
string should, instead of saying "(see <whatever> )" (and note the extra
space, and the lack of `'), should say what that key does: "Use `<whatever>'
for help on the mode."
Your fix addresses the fact that the binding might change, but not what I
meant to point out in the report: the wording and typography are not good.
