What is the output of this command: echo text\4description | fish_pager 0 prefix Also, are any locale variables, like LANG, LC_ALL, etc. set in fish, and if so are they exported?

I think I know why this is happening, and it is a result of fish not working well if fishd is unavailable. Another user pointed out that fish ought to be able to work much better than it currently does without fishd, and he is dead right. It's on my todo list. One more important question remains - why is fish unable to start fishd? Fish should automatically make sure that the fish installation directory is in the PATH.
