setting fish for web browser instead of text editor

When running fish_config, it starts the configuration with Web config started at 'file:///home/akwXXXX/.cache/fish/web_config-K1L2BW.html'. Hit enter to stop.

Yet, instead of opening the web browser, it starts the code editor I have.

What should I do to use my default web browser?

Thanks

Solution

  • fish_config is a python script that uses python's webbrowser module, which respects the $BROWSER variable.

    So set $BROWSER, e.g. via set -gx BROWSER /path/to/browser in your config.fish.
