The online documentation is lacking, but the man pages are better. The man page for the \"function\" command lists built-in events. ## Brett — [Oct 16, 2019 11:01 am](https://my.remarkbox.com/34d0d36b-ef78-11e9-8a63-040140774501/fish-shell-fun-event-handlers-brettterpstra-com#d5230182-f025-11e9-8a67-040140774501) You are correct, thanks! For posterity, there\'s no man page for function, but rather `function -h`. ### evanrelf — [Oct 16, 2019 01:50 pm](https://my.remarkbox.com/34d0d36b-ef78-11e9-8a63-040140774501/fish-shell-fun-event-handlers-brettterpstra-com#83380e86-f03d-11e9-8a67-040140774501) That\'s weird, running `man function` works for me, and opens the same text from `function -h` in my `MANPAGER` #### Brett — [Oct 17, 2019 10:30 am](https://my.remarkbox.com/34d0d36b-ef78-11e9-8a63-040140774501/fish-shell-fun-event-handlers-brettterpstra-com#b92bc368-f0ea-11e9-8a69-040140774501) Interesting ... --- **Source:** [https://my.remarkbox.com/34d0d36d-ef78-11e9-8a63-040140774501](https://my.remarkbox.com/34d0d36d-ef78-11e9-8a63-040140774501) **Snapshot:** 2026-05-09T01:10:00Z **Generator:** Remarkbox `763cacb`
