Expected behavior
Useful help documentation appears for commands at point when I use C-j
or have C-c f enabled in a helm-descbinds window.
Actual behavior, from emacs-helm.sh if possible
C-j or C-c f` and scroll around, helm documentation is shown.
Your issue template advises use of emacs-helm.sh. How do I use that
with helm-descbinds? I tried and it doesn't load helm-descbinds...
Yes, as helm-descbinds is not part of helm, it is not loaded, you have
to load it manually (from helm-find-files, hit M-L).
Steps to reproduce
1. Start emacs with helm + helm-descbinds installed via melpa.
2. C-h b or C-h w on default splash screen. 3. Type "frame" and
scroll down to or which reference ignore-event, a command you might
not understand and want to know more about. 4. Press C-j (or scroll
onto with C-c f helm-follow-mode enabled) to learn something about
it, but instead get this error.
Thanks for the recipe, indeed the two entries with ignore event are
treated specially by emacs (they are bound to ignore)
see (info "(elisp) Misc Events") for more infos.
I have fixed as well the default action (RET) on such entries, which
send now a message explaining partially this.
And also now helm-descbinds describe `ignore` function which
is better than nothing.
Not sure if important: 5. C-h b ignore-event returns 2 hits. 6. C-x c
a ignore-events returns while-no-input-ignore-events var. It's value
is (focus-in focus-out help-echo iconify-frame make-frame-visible
selection-request). Not sure if this matters, but it looks
~~related. There is not explicit reference to ignore-events that I can
find.
Only iconify-frame and make-frame-visible are concerned AFAICS.
It appears iconify-frame and make-frame-visible are potentially menu
(?) items referencing a non-existent function which aren't actually
bound to any keys. (I have gui menu disabled)... So ultimately, all
this work maybe just for what was an error message I didn't understand
on a function I can't find...? Not sure what's going on here.
The info entry above explain this.
Thanks for your report.

Hi, thanks so much for your response. Not accustomed to git'ting, apologies on delay. Hits for I thought I ran into a bug on your fix but looks like a separate issue, can you verify: When I hit PS |

When I hit C-h b ignore and scroll to vc-ignore, nothing pops up on
C-j. After some looking, I realized the library wasn't loaded, which
fixed it after I loaded it. (I don't remember this ever being an
issue)
Yes this is expected, the library needs to be loaded.
PS Calling emacs-helm.sh, M-L on helm-find-files returns no such
action 'helm-find-files-load-files' for this source.
Because this action (`helm-find-files-load-files'`) will appear only on
*.el or *.elc files, I guess you called M-L on a non elisp file.
Have a look at the action menu with selection on a *.el file and on any
other file (non elisp), you will see the action present only with elisp
files as selection.
So no bug here, it is expected.
OTH.
