Even several. One can use calltips for a quick help, cycling through a couple of pages. That is, if a page is shown in the calltip, show the next one. Else, show the first page. Another idea is to check if a tip/key is in the loaded tips files. Or to browse over all completions of a stub. That is, consider you don't know the exact function name or you do a typo. Then the tip isn't found. But a macro could shorten the function name, look for completions of this in the tips file, and cycle through all the found completions. (I have a list_completions(mode, filename [,stub]) function, where mode is either "tips" or "tags", filename is a loaded tips or tags file name, and stub is an optional string. The fucntion returns a \n separated list of all tips or tags names from the requested file that are completions of stub. If stub is empty or missing, all tags or tips names are returned. Moreover, the $loaded_[tips|tags]_files arrays give access to the loaded tips and tags file names.)
