Thanks Raul, Ctrl-F1 works for me and opens up the relevant wiki page for the primitive next to the cursor. I definitely wouldn't want to try to replace that functionality, I think this is intended to be in addition to the current existing documentation functionality. Maybe it's just a personal preference thing, I quite often find myself using python's help(module/object) functionality in the repl at work too.
