What are some essential tools you use on a daily basis? Dev or non-dev related? I'll start.

I've been using Lazygit a lot lately for a visual Git experience in the terminal, and it's been awesome.

Oooh that's cool. I haven't used that before

I love LazyGit started using it after I stopped using VSCode. I loved the git integration in there

Another thing I've started using just recently is the Vimium browser extension, which kind of integrates Vim into the browser. The killer feature for me though is that I can tap the f key and everything that could be clicked gets overlaid with a letter pattern to quick jump to it. So suddenly I have mouseless browser navigation without spamming the tab key. It's been a bit of a game changer.

yeah I've been using that for a while
there is a zsh plugin that lets you use vim motions on your terminal if your so inclined

I'm still mainly on an older windows machine and using WSL, and by the time I get everything running for dev it's at capacity. Adding zsh seemed to push it over the top. So that's on hold until my new machine gets here and then I can experiment. I'm a bit curious though how Vim motions would interact with the term directly?

more just the horizontal motions and things like changeWord etc
pulsar glacier
ah, so easier edit of previous commands and mistakes then?

Handbrake - compresses videos without sacrificing quality unless specified which allows for easier sharing on socials and messages.
TreeSize (free version) to see a tree styled view of your folders/drives and locate what is taking up a lot of space.
Draw On Page chrome extension
PowerToys - I believe this is windows OS only, but it has a bunch of useful utilities in it
pulsar glacier
+1 for Powertoys. The "Powertoys Run" quick launcher alone is worth the install.

yeah exactly

SlickRun - the most badass shortcut utility I've ever run across. It's Windows only though. https://bayden.com/slickrun/
Hit your custom hotkey combo, dialog appears, start typing your saved "magicwords" and it'll autocomplete, press enter. You can open websites, files, start programs, execute whatever. It supports runtime parameters. So say I have a magicword of "ipconfig" that takes in a parameter after it. I could do "ipconfig /all" "ipconfig /flushdns", etc. You can also create a magicword that runs multiple other magicwords.

That's awesome. Sounds like Keyboard Maestro which is pretty powerful as well
