Say I have given man ls.
Within this man page I found another function/keyword that I wanted to check up. Say I found the function name by doing /fun_name. Now I want to see the man page of this fun_name. Only way I know of is to quit to present man page and do man fun_name.
Is there a shortcut?

To search a specific man page section, use the -s option with the man command and the -k or -K option.
The three tricks to remember to search once you're within a man page are: / search string – find matches to “search string” in current man page” n – go to next match. shift + n – go to prior match.
When inside the man page, do the following:
! followed by a valid shell command.!man cat
q
!done (press RETURN). You can either press ENTER key or continue pressing q to get out of the multiple man pages
