Limit command mode mappings to start of commands

By default, I want to open the help windows vertically. I'm able to do this with :vert bo help. To make things easier, I tried to create a map it by :cnoremap vh vert bo help. However, this replaces all instaces of vh. How do I limit it to changing only if is at the beginning?

I also tried using cabbrev. It is slightly better and waits till a space but suffers from the same problem

Instead of using cmap, you can use command which support TAB-completion:

for example:

:com! -nargs=1 -complete=help H :vert bo help <args>
