That's easy to fix! :-)
set -U BROWSER links
that would change the default browser, ideally i'd prefer to set a browser
specifically for fish somewhere.
IT would be possible to make a wrapper around the help function that
sets browser, calls the internal help function, resets browser and
exits. It's a bit of a hassle, though.
on debian systems there are also www-browser and x-www-browser links,
where www-browser points to a terminal application.
2)tabtab picking one from the proposed completions and rotates,
when I'm really lazy taping
I've though a lot about that. I definitly want some interface where
you can pick one of the available completions, but I'm not really sure
that is the right interface.
vi does that, and it's really annoying. without seeing the list, i can't
tell how often i need to hit tab to make it work, and even with seeing
the list, if you have lots of completions then you may have to hit tab
hundreds of times. or you have to go back and delete a few chars to get
to the point you need to continue.
maybe it's possible to show a suggestion without moving the cursor to
the end so that you can continue typing and simply ignore the
suggestion. like autocomplete in some applications.
I imagine that one should still get the pager, only it is possible to
select an item from it. And I definitely think that you should be able
to exit the pager by starting to type.
speaking of completions, is it possible to make
/foo/bartabgazong NOT jump to the end of gazong but actually complete
/foo/bar?
Yes, it would. I've been planning on removing that feature for a long
time, since I don't really like it that much. Haven't gotten to it...
