Bug Description
This is on Edgy, in sync with the latest repository.
The help shortcut is the "s" key and seems to be in effect during the document search utility. Because of this you can't search for anything with in "s" in it, as typing that letter just brings up the help app.
A workaround is to just type the search with the caps lock on. The search is case-insensitive so it still works.
It obviously needs fixing though :)

Hi. Thanks for your bug report.
As far i know, the 'help' shortcut for most applications is F1. Evince belongs to that group.
Are you using a localized (translated) version? If so, try to run evince from a terminal with the command:
$ LANG=C evince
Evince will open in English, so you can verify the shortcut for 'help' command.
