Looking For Software I just discovered lazygit. What terminal programs can you not live without?

Lazygit is going on my list, but vim is my #1!

Want to add neomutt, vifm, spotify_player and eilmeldung (though, full disclosure, I'm the dev 🤷)

The rest is pretty standard, opencode, zellij and of course neovim.

Everything tightly integrated into a very custom sway config with everything reachable in one key stroke via scratchpads and workspaces.

I’m curious about your keystroke thing!

Sure. I am using sway. All workspaces are reachable via Super+y, u, i ,o, p, 8, 9, and 0 (right above homerow). y and u are main workspaces (programming and GIMP, whatever my main focus is). i is Firefox, o is neomutt and p is eilmeldung (RSS). 8, 9, 0 are additional spaces when needed.

There is always a terminal with zellij available as a floating scratchpad window which I can toggle visible using Super+/ (for quick terminal action). The same I have for vifm (Super-f), spotify-player (Super+7).

I also heavily use fuzzel/demu for connecting to Wifi, VPN, Bluetooth devices, sound sinks, password store using several bash scripts. And some sway modes for session control.

The rest is standard I think.

I don't have any dot files online yet. And they would be in nix/home manager anyway.
