:help f
Expected behavior

Research direction
Reproduce the issue in VS Code 1.54.0-insider with nvim enabled by opening a file and running :help f in normal mode. Trace the extension's ex-command handling for :help, then verify that help opens in a separate split or tab without replacing the current file.
