1. Command help offers help on functions, classes, packages and so on, but it support command style only, i.e. it can only be used without parentheses.

2. The Shift+F1 hot key in command window opens the function browser in MATLAB. The F1 hot key opens the help document for function where the cursor is. The Ctrl+SPACE hot key pop out parameter hint for the function where the cursor is.

3. The Ctrl+C hot key in command window halts the current execution if any. This is helpful if you want to stop a time-consuming evaluation, e.g. when you forget to put an semicolon after an expression which produces a very large output. Note that this can also be dangerous if you do want to run a time-consuming program in MATLAB. A safe way is to lock the computer if you do not have to use it while the code is running, or at least you should minimize the MATLAB command window so that it will not be interrupted by your misoperation.
