man or help command

Currently when you install a package the only way of figuring out the associated commands is to check the package preferences (if it has any) or visit the github page. I'm proposing a "Package control: man" command that lists installed packages, selecting one brings up the readme file within ST

I would also like to have an option to have the readme open (in ST) immediately after install

I'd really like this. Not knowing anything about a plugin when installed is really annoying.

And it seems to have gotten worse. I recently installed ST3 and started re-installing some of my packages.

Back some time ago when I installed packages for ST2 I could at least use "Preferences: Browse Packages" and manually open up the README in the right /Packages/* folder.

Now a number of packages are instead installed to ./Installed Packages as .sublime-package files so their README isn't even easily accessible.

I now have to open up a web browser and manually search packagecontrol.io to get any information on packages I already have installed.

You can use PackageResourceViewer to easily inspect the Installed Packages and open files within.

Other than that, it's currently the package author's decision to show or not to show a message on install. However adding an option to automatically open the readme if there was no install message sounds like a fine suggestion to me.
