I think taking over the keyboard would make it worse in this case. My goal is to help him find the information himself. This hasn't been successful. He might ask "How do I start a dev server?" My response would be "Can you check the read me?" That isn't enough. I literally tell him stuff like "Okay, switch to the tab with the readme file. See where it says 'Start development server'? Keep scrolling down. Keep going. Okay. Copy the line below and paste it into your terminal." It's bad.
