Python wrappers for dynamic menus (dmenu, rofi, fzf, ...)

Greatly simplifies calling and working with menus through python.

Nice cut alternative. Less portable, since cut is installed everywhere anyway but allows some really nice simple (or advanced) choices.

Especially nice to circumvent the cut troubles with repeated/irregular whitespace separation and similar issues.

plaintext accounting, connecting to a web frontend to access it through the smartphone

Only writing to terminal what actually changed (akin to an adaptible screen paint / refresh)

simple markdown zettelkasten --

add, search, tag things in your zettelkasten from the commandline

Similar to vim-navigator, allowing movement between tmux panes and vim buffers with the same shortcuts (predominantly c-hjkl).
But extends its functionality for e.g. i3 windows.

Alternative to hledger, written in python and supporting an easy python extension system (write your own plugins).

Generally intended to be simpler to use than ledger/hledger, at the expense of very advanced settings and input options.

Provides its own query language to find transactions, as well as an integrated web interface (and https://github.com/beancount/fava as a more advanced implementation of the web interface). Looks really good and functional, as well as way simpler than e.g. Firefly III interface.

easy-to-use command-line/curses/web plaintext accounting tool; a modern and largely compatible Haskell rewrite of Ledger - simonmichael/hledger

hledger makes use of plaintextaccounting principles and can read files in *ledger format, as well as csv files.

Additional accounting ideas and configuration possibilities are discussed here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20012499.

Quickstart help can be found here: https://hledger.org/quickstart.html

Full manual is available here: https://hledger.org/accounting.html, containing many ideas, workflows, and tutorials for accounting in general and hledger in specific.

A command-line tool to turn web pages into beautiful, readable PDF, EPUB, or HTML docs. - danburzo/percollate

Using dmenu to directly seach through youtube results and add the resulting video into mpv.

Could be adapted to use my umpv script, and remove some of the required programs.

I would like to generate a random string (e.g. passwords, user names, etc.). It should be possible to specify the needed length (e.g. 13 chars).

head /dev/urandom | tr -dc A-Za-z0-9 | head -c13

where head dictates how many characters you get.
You can then e.g. pipe it into an echo command or into a clipboard program or similar.

Interesting BibTeX manager, could replace Jabref for simple cmd line operations.

Some notable features (mentioned by author):

• vim keys
• search in Crossref (recommended), Google Scholar and search by pdf file's metadata (provided by pdfinfo),
• create sub-libraries from commandline
• automatically / manually manage and rename pdf files based on BibTeX entry that you searched in Step 1
• notes

Somewhat similar to activitywatch, etc.

Takes snapshots of currently open/active windows and their titles. (By default every 60s, can be more fine-grained.)
Snapshots can then be reviewed and tagged automatically through writing a categorization config file,
e.g. tagging all browser titles with ^.*//scholar.google.com/.*$ as Research, or as Research:Papers, to get even more finegrained.

Allows idle-detection and tagging to remove.

Data can be exported out to .log files or to csv files.

In ZSH you can increase your productivity with aliases. This post explains 5 types of aliases that you should know. Boost your shell productivity now and make ZSH your own

The zsh shell offers countless options and features. Here are 5 ways to boost your efficiency from the command line.

Advanced aliases are interesting (e.g. aliases based on file ending)

What can I type at my shell (which happens to be bash) that will list all the commands that are recognized?

Also, does this differ by shell? Or do all shells just have a "directory" of commands they know about?

simplest version:
compgen -c to list all commands

syncable with caldav (experimental)
