Description
related to #8505.
this issue is here to track the work to be done on the help commands from nu-std
- Speed - We can land with having slight speed differences because we can always optimize that later.
-
help commandshas different columns (no command_type) column and the signatures column is different. -
help -fhighlights too many columns in script form. - match sort order of rust commands
Note
see #8505 (comment)
- exported environment blocks do not show up well

- 🔵 i thought of adding a
--rawoption to allow custom data processing by not expanding the help page found, but instead return the raw data - 🟡 with the builtin,
help externs openreturns thehelp openeven thoughopenis not an external => the newstd help externs opendoes not - 🔴 in the built-in
help externs, we have all the registered flags that show up => as they are not available in$nu, i do not know how to do that
