Last week I wrote about making Emacs ask for parameters for lp when printing from pdf-tools. The only thing missing was some kind of help for lp, which is far from intuitive. I figured that it would be best if I could somehow make read-string display some help string when some key was pressed, even in the midst of editing in the minibuffer. (Preferably, the key would be C-h, which is Emacs’ default for “help”.) And guess what? This is Emacs. Not only is such a feature possible, it is actually built-in!
