Big fan of commandline tools such as vim, htop etc. What is in your opinion must have tools?
fzf for quickly matching file names especially deep in the directory hierarchy
ripgrep for quickly searching for text content within files
dtrx for handling the right extractions of different archive types
What is the difference between
ripgrep
and just plain grep?ripgrep
is a reimplementation ofgrep
in Rust. It benchmarks faster for large file searches and also comes with quality of life features like syntax highlighting by default.It also ignores files in .gitignore and some others by default

I basically live in
nvim
. Being able to configure my editor in an actual programming language makes it so much more useful to me thanvim
could ever be.I found lua to be a better programming language, but the text specific design of vimscript makes way more sense to my brain.
Yes, Vimscript is way more intuitive than Lua in a lot of ways. And as far as programming languages go, Lua has some strange design choices that I’m not the biggest fan of, either. However, it really does open up a lot of possibilities when your configuration is programmatic.
I really like
