Do Help pane integrated with Notebook plugin?

[satyrmipt]

Description of your problem

What steps will reproduce the problem?

Can not activate help display for any function in help pane while working in notebook.
All buttons in Tools - Preferences - Help are activated.
Tools - Preferences - Notebook has no additional options about help display

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

Ordinary Spyder has help pane and you can activate help display when you press ctrl+I on the function in Editor.
But spyder notebook show nothing on ctrl+I.

Please inform is it bug on my side or this feature not developed yet in spyder notebook.

Please provide any additional information below (stack trace, screenshots, a gif, etc)

help display (ctrl+I) works well for Editor. Also it works if i print function name directly in help pane Object field.
Source menu of help pane has two options - Editor and Console. No "Notebook" option there

Hey @satyrmipt, thanks for reporting. Unfortunately, the Help pane is not connected to Spyder-notebook at the moment.

However, this is a very interesting idea, so we'll try to see if we can make that happen in the future.

I am merging this with issue #257 which is basically the same.
