   end

In the setup() function you can pass the table with desired settings. Defaults are the next:

{
   always = false, -- Always open help in a vertical split.
   side = 'right', -- 'left' or 'right'
   buftype = { 'help' },
   filetype = { 'man' }
}

Open help in a vertical split on the far right

For this you don't need plugin. Add into file

wincmd L
