[@William_Clinton_Muguai]

(1) Vim; text editor. (2) Tmux; allows me 2 run multiple terminals in one window. (3) Timeshift; takes snapshots of my machine at certain intervals. (4) HTOP; overview of the running processes. (5) NCDU; analyze my storage 2 see what uses up the most. Useful when I am running low on space & I need 2 find out why it's happening. (6) Timetrap; time tracking tool 4 the command line.

Vim itself hasn't really changed much during that time either. Its developers have become pretty stubborn about accepting new contributions, and so it got forked into Neovim that a lot of people are migrating to.

[@oliver1231033]

I switched to neovim now for latest plugins that improve my development workflow

[@lawrencedoliveiro9104]

Additional tools: The “find” command is an amazing utility for scanning through lots of files and reporting which ones match certain criteria. From simple things like matching names against patterns, checking last-modified dates, up to more elaborate content examination using external commands, find can do it all. Then there is “rsync”, which is a bulk file transfer utility. Good for doing copies of large amounts of data over less-than-reliable connections, since if the connection goes down, simply retry the command, and it will figure out what has already been transferred and resume from there. Also good for doing backups, both full and incremental. And since the backups are just exact copies of the original files, not in any special format, restoration from backup is very straightforward.

[@PhoebusG]

I'm loving this Tmux thing, thanks bro... saves you opening new shells constantly, and the save session is reaaally nice.

[@dhwaneelkapadia3265]

your channel and videos are amazing, I love the vibe of the videos, the kinda dark.

[@PaperBenni]

This video contains a misconception about tmux that can end up biting you in the rear big time: **tmux sessions are not saved!!** All they are is independent from the terminal window that it used to view and interact with them. This means that closing a terminal window containing a tmux session will just let the session and all processes inside it keep running. **they are not getting paused!!** They'll act like nothing happened and continue to take up ram and cpu or do disk io. they in no way act like linux hibernation does. This also means that they are not persistent between reboots. If you have unsaved data in a tmux session (even one without a terminal attached to it) and reboot all of that will be lost.

[@rotflol6666]

tmux is a terminal multiplexer, you can detach from a running session and reattach later, very good when remote sysadminning over a less reliable link

[@Gaspar.Albertengo]

And that's why he also uses htop... 🤣🤣🤣

[@A4orce84]

Great video @Kalle! I notice you use a lot of different machines (MacBook, Dell XPS, Desktop), maybe a good topic for a future video would be how you streamline and work across your machines on the same project for example. I would also be interested in things like how MacOS vs. Linux vs. Windows in terms of tools and configs you use for each OS. Great job keep up the good work and content!

[@surajpowar4915]

Split screen in vim: :sp (horizontal split) :vs (vertical split) :term (horizontal terminal) :vert ter (vertical terminal) Navigate between windows: ctrl + ww (navigate to next window) ctrl + w (and either h j k l )

[@Cyber_Homestead]

If you're new to Vim, there's a program called 'vimtutor' that I highly recommend trying out. This will teach you quite a bit in the terminal, at your own pace. If Tmux isn't available, GNU Screen works pretty well too. I've been using Linux for a long time, and I've got a short list of absolutely essential applications (besides the basics) that most people end up using in IT: grep sed awk head tail uniq cut history find du df file clear man which

[@anonymousk5634]

Can you please help me with how I can save my terminal sessions, I know that in terminal there is save a content feature but the only problem is, it does not saves the content in the actual color format as it in my terminal it just saves as a normal text which sometimes really hard to read and find smthg you want, so can you please help me with this??

[@lawrencedoliveiro9104]

1:48 I’m more used to screen than tmux. Either is useful more for remote-access situations, where you have a single SSH connection into the remote machine, but you want to have multiple terminal sessions.

[@apfigueiredo79]

THIS. I was expecting him to at least mention the importance of tmux/screen in remote situations. Not only because when working remotely (more often than not) the terminal is everything you have so it makes sense to multiplex it somehow, but because you don't want to lose everything you are doing when you lose your internet connection.

[@Spectraevil]

For Mac users, I like to keep the terminals separate but still switch easily and have many open. Create a window group as per your choice like, suppose 4 terminals opened side by side. Now when you open terminal your windows group opened with the number of windows n layout etc you had saved. And then easily switch between them using CMD + left/right.

[@balazsh2]

Thanks for the ncdu recommendation, it's awesome!

[@auroredelfosse2202]

Vim doesn't have to change, it's perfect ... It's just : You have to learn it ... About other console tools, may i suggest : nethogs midnight Commander (mc)

[@wendang4806]

Thank you sir, I find Tmux, and NCDU really helpful especially when I'm working only on server OS where there's only a terminal interface.

[@ThePharaohsCat]

Nice. Subscribed. After Disk Utility screwed up my partitions, thinking of switching back to Linux. These all give a sense of control and confidence lacking on other platforms.

Yes, more Linux content please

[@maheepchaudhary4200]

I will recommend to use the taskbook with tmux as it allows you to have a look at your tasks while working on the terminal

[@mithrandir906]

cmus fits in nicely with this set for productivity, including with tmux so you can manage some tunes while you cli the day away. definitely my favorite mp3 player in a long time.

Alright, now i know what to add to my Terminal if i ever gonna attempt to start learning to code, which i still think you need to be made for. HTML and CSS is already a Joy, i am happy when i can handle the basics in Manjaro.

[@nro337]

Great video! Thanks!

[@castoh]

Great infor` man... I prefer to use glances instead of htop since it has more details and also gives you a warning in case of high memory usage and also CPU usage.

[@palexer2505]

Even though I knew almost all of them already, it’s great that you showcase these programs. I would add the following to the list: Syncthing (syncing files, can also be used to make backups of files on e.g. a Raspberry Pi server), groff (typesetting), suckless sent (presentations), lf(file manager), fzf (finding files), bashtop (an alternative to http that looks way better and is written is bash), zathura (pdf,ps,djvu and ePub reader) sxiv (image viewer), ImageMagick(image manipulation), bat (rust replacement for cat) and exa (rust replacement for ls).

[@HacMan.0.1]

Good video!

[@daedalus_00]

Try ranger - vim style key-binds, bulk rename files with vim, and picture previews

Could try DOOM Emacs too

[@olivermgrech]

You're missing midnight commander! apt-get install mc Thanks for this video! didn't know about timetrap!

[@teunissenstefan]

if you like the general idea of tmux, there's a good chance you'll like a tiling window manager like i3wm or sway.

[@LuchaLibreFanboy]

totally missed the point.

[@helge000]

tmux "saving" sessions is a bit misleading: You rather detach/reattach to a running session. This session keeps running in the background and depending on the task might change while detached. Further, there're gone when you shutdown your computer.

[@progste]

great suggestions, unlike many other videos where people just propose a lot of pointless programs these are all helpful.

[@eugenetapang]

The question, is there any NCDU type tool that will give you a CLI visual of your packages installed and dependencies? I would love to find something so I can just do a quick visual when installing packages it's like a running checklist and visual CLI eye candy. Kalle, excellent video as usual and solid info, I have been thinking about this for days previous to your video. Sooo, big thanks.

[@joserm2794]

Thanks! from Colombia. Very good.

if you are using KDE try to use yakuake as your main terminal. Lots of tabs, vertical / horizontal split and the best way to access the terminal immediately (just hit F12).

[@JesusCliment]

Tmux does not *save* the session. It detaches the session and later attaches to the same session you had. It is an important distinction. Saying it saves the session ut makes it sound that the session may survive across reboots, which is not the case.

[@savantshuia]

ranger is a great cli file manager written in python so you can even modify it if you really want.

[@lawrencedoliveiro9104]

2:12 The default escape prefix in screen is CTRL/A. Both CTRL/A and CTRL/B would annoy me, because they clash with line-editing characters. So in my ~/.screenrc I have the line escape ^Zz which redefines the escape prefix to be CTRL/Z. Which coincidentally is the default control character for “suspend foreground job”. Which is not something that’s needed much when you run a session multiplexer like screen! So win all round.

[@AliZainOnline]

I found tmux is always super useful debugging (tail) multiple log files on remote machine.
