Pressing the '''Help''' key usually brings up documentation in the current application.
In others it could bring up configurable options or other alternate screen.

On the PC, the [[Function keys#Microsoft Windows|F1]] key often does the same thing.

The [[Apple Extended Keyboard]] through [[Apple A1048]] for the Macintosh has had "Help" as another name for the [[Insert key]].
It has usually been located above the [[Delete key]] in the six-key [[nav cluster]] above the cursor keys. The [[Apple USB Keyboard]] had it instead on the Function key row above the [[Clear key]].

[[:Category:Sun_keyboards|Sun Microsystem keyboards]] tend to have a Help key above or below a [[Fun cluster#Sun|named function keys]] on the left-hand side. Unlike Apple's keyboards, the key has a separate code.

On the [[Commodore Amiga]] and [[Atari ST]] platforms, the Help key is in a [[nav cluster|cluster]] above the [[cursor keys]].
When a PC keyboard is used with the Amiga, [[Scroll lock]] is mapped to Help. However, in the Amiga emulator UAE, it is instead the End key that is mapped to Help.
On Atari ST, [[Alt key|Alternate]]+Help printed the screen to the printer (if connected).

Some models in Atari 8-bit home computer series had a Help key as part of named [[function keys]] in the top row or on the right-hand side, often next to Start, Select and Option.
