Wed 19 Oct 2016 07:53:38 PM UTC, comment #3: The second version (write the help text to a file and open it with another nano) works fine, but... as you said, it is wasteful. And I don't see how you can prevent the user from typing ^G again which would open another nano... So this is off.

Wed 19 Oct 2016 05:03:39 PM UTC, comment #2: Since TODO confirms we want a search, I tried implementing this feature and have come across 2 techniques for same solution: (i) Print the help text in a file and running search on it and then map the position on the screen (of string when found). (ii) Print the help text in a file and open it in a (sub-)instance of nano.
