Big fan of commandline tools such as vim, htop etc. What is in your opinion must have tools?
xclip
is incredibly useful to get and set data from the clipboard!gopup
is to html whatjq
is to JSON. It allows you to parse html to extract specific data for a given selector.I have mostly replaced all command line stuff with Emacs, but there are still a few CLI utilities that I continue to use, whether I am in the CLI directly or whether I am using Emacs:

Ranger and/or vifm as file managers. Can’t live without them
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.
k9s is a game changer
