In Visual Studio, highlighting a keyword and pressing F1 will take you to the relevant help page documentation about it.

How can I do this if I don't have an F1 key? Is there a menu item or ribbon button or different key press I can use?

There isn't a toolbar button for "F1 Help" by default but you can customize your toolbar to add one. Click the "Add or Remove Buttons" icon at the right of your main toolbar:

Then, from the second pop-up menu you get from that small drop-down, select the "Customize..." command. In the pop-up dialogue box that follows, select the "Commands" tab and click the "Add Command" button …

Finally, in the "Add Command" dialogue-box, select the "Help" category in the left-hand pane and scroll down the right-hand pane until you see the "F1 Help" button, select that and click OK …

You will now have a new button on your toolbar (the blue disk with a ? in it) that will execute F1 Help when you click it:
