#22Trying to name some more obscure ones that I love. Tizonia is a CLI music player that can play music from your Google Music library. I like it bc I don't have to use a browser. Pianobar is a CLI client for Pandora, but I can run this on a Mac too so not sure if it counts. Same no browser required benefit. I love CLI music players bc they help you extend battery life vs browser based. Gpaste is a clipboard manager. It…
Image output destination is configurable on Mac. Cmd + Shift + 5, then it's under options in the bar. I don't recall all the options but it's at least file/clipboard.

⌘⇧5 (CMD + Shift + 5) doesn't do anything on my macOS 10.13.6 system, ⌘⇧⌃4 (CMD + Shift + Ctrl + 4) is the default shortcut to take a rectangle screenshot and store it in the clipboard.

#25OS: Debian 10 + XFCE Terminal: highly-customized Terminator bound to F1 + XFCE Terminal for "floating" instances Text/Programming: Sublime Text, Intelij IDE, nano (yeah yeah bring your hate vim users - I know it well and I'm not a fan), Meld Markdown/docs: Typora (TRY THIS OUT IT'S AMAZING.) Browsing: Chrome, Chromium, FF, Brave (in that order); Postman for API work, Charles Proxy for reverse-engineering work Communi…
As an open-source alternative to typora I can suggest Marktext https://github.com/marktext/marktext which I believe is on par with typora features. Don't be alarmed by the fact that it's electron, it's pretty fast either way. And as far as I know typora is electron based too.

Most of them are here: https://kde.org/applications/

#29I have used emacs since before Linux and window systems existed. Emacs is a small windows manager like it is nearly everything else. Nowadays I only use a tiny fraction of its functionality, because I do run a window manager and a web browser. Still emacs is one of the first programs I install on every system. On embedded systems where emacs is not feasible I try to get remote editing via TRAMP https://www.emacswiki.…
Does TRAMP mode offer any advantages to sshfs?

⌘⇧5 was introduced back in 10.14.0 Mojave.
