Obligatory mention of lazygit for those who prefer vi and its descendants.

No, I’m not making any claim regarding which is better. Hold your cards and letters. In many other universes, I’m a daily user of magit.

I never wanted a hobby, but rather an operating system. I’ve been using Pop! for over six years. I only had one stretch where I felt like I was chasing annoying bugs and I don’t remember it clearly enough to remember how long it lasted.

Excellent! I missed DaisyDisn. It looks great!

I keep mine in Bitwarden, I export that data every 3 months and store it in a Backblaze backup, I have it written on a piece of paper stored in a locked fire box in my house, and that paper scanned in my phone.

I can’t imagine not having at least one of those in 10 years and I can’t imagine all four failing in the same week.

Does that give you any helpful ideas that would work for you?

Combine with jc to process CSV files. This is how I get data into my plain text accounting system.

Do you struggle to remember the names of commands or how to use them or how you have used them in the past?

Underrated or not widely known?

I love lazygit and I’m still surprised at how many people are shocked when they see it for the first time. Not exactly a command, but a very handy text UI tool.

For more elementary tools, I can’t believe how many people know about ! and ctrl+r who don’t also know about fc and edit-and-execute-command.

This is one piece of software that has an update almost every time I open it and I’m never ever worried about updating it. 💪

Alternatively, use fc 371 to open the command in an editor and take your time figuring out how you might want to change it.

Ooh! It’s a Silvia! It’s backwards, but it’s a Silvia.

I love my Silvia, but I use Pop!

Server-side paywalling? Everything old is new again.

Only if temperature distribution is a continuous function.

It looks like I have a great place to land if fzf ever starts to make my life difficult. Thank you!

I’m annoyed when things don’t work. I’m even more annoyed when something can’t be made to work.

I find the first kind of annoyance much more ephemeral.

I use copyq for this purpose. It doesn’t do exactly what you’ve asked for, but it solves a very similar underlying problem.

This is the reason I liked kakoune right away after I started using it: select, then act, and every movement is also a selection.

I haven’t used it on a project for money, but I have some tests in shunit2 and that alone encourages me to extract code to functions.
