On most of the software I've used "F1" is a shortcut for general help 
for the program-- not for specific results based on what happens to 
be selected inside the program.  Case in point: Supercollider, which 
has "F1" for a help browser and some other key bindings for getting 
class help based on what's selected in the editor.

Which is a good reason why "F1" usually doesn't give variable results based on 
the state of editor.

As for "<Control-a>, <Control-h>", it could open all the help patches (similar to 
what <Cmd-i> does-- or at least did-- on a Mac).
