I am effectively giving $BROWSER top priority in gui-mode so
we don't need to make any changes to cause a problem for you.
If the $BROWSER program exists, it will always be used in
gui-mode.
The only solution I have for you ATM is for you to always use
the -t (--text) flag which will make help.fish pretend it is in
text mode even if it is in graphics mode. Then if you don't
like the default text browser, you can set your text-mode
browser with the $CONSOLE_BROWSER variable. This is not ideal
because you will have to always use the -t flag.
I'd be glad to add recognition of a $GRAPHICAL_BROWSER variable
(or $FISH_HELP_BROWSER or something) that takes precedence over
$BROWSER. The only problem with doing it this way is that if
the text browser you want to use is not on my list of known
text browsers:
www-browser links2 elinks lynx w3m links
then it will get launched in the background which makes it
look like help.fish is broken.
The other solution (that I can think of) is to use another
variable (or flag or both) that makes text mode sticky just
like what I did for quiet mode. Philip pointed out that
with such complications I'm drifting away from the original
design ideas of fish: http://fishshell.org/user_doc/design.html
I'm open to suggestions.
Peace, James
