What CLI/CUI programs are you using ?
Re: What CLI programs are you using ?
I don't know how I haven't discovered it before...Orpie.
Orpie is a command line RPN calculator. It is awesome!
I use Galculator in Gnome, but have always wanted a good CLI RPN calculator. It doesn't seem to come up when I use synaptic to search for RPN. I discovered it reading threads at the hpmuseum.org forum. Gotta love the old HP RPN calculators. My old HP12C is still running strong after 20+ years.

Re: What CLI/CUI programs are you using ?
alsamixer
To control the volume of my "radio" Cubietruck (basically `alsamixer`, `mplayer` and changing streams using `at`) over `mosh` and `screen`.
libsixel-bin
Being able to display bitmap graphics in an `XTerm` (even over ssh!) is nice to have.
ffplay
`mplayer` seems to have a problem with my Cubietruck. I'm testing `ffplay` as substitute now.
mawk
`awk` is Unix's answer to BASIC and spreadsheets. I prefer `mawk` because I want to avoid getting used to the GNUish extensions in `gawk`. Scripting in `awk` is less quoting hell than in `*sh` and `awk` is available in my smallest systems (e.g. in OpenWrt's `busybox`), so for me it turns out sticking to the commonly available `awk` features only is the way to go.
mc(edit)
I always kick `nano` out of my fresh installs and use `mcedit` instead and `mc` as file manager is a help for occasionally editing remote files.
mosh
`mosh` (mobile shell) can transparently reconnect even after address changes. So I can close my notebook while leaving all connections open and `mosh` will reconnect after waking up the notebook as if nothing has happened in between. Pure luxury! I'm worth it!!!
mplayer
...mainly for audio streams.
nvi
I always kick `vim*` out of my fresh installs and use `nvi` instead for not getting used to nonstandard vi extensions. On big systems I normally don't use vi a lot but on some smaller systems I do and they are diverse and so sticking to the common vi basics is a reasonable decission in my context.
rsync
For painting easter eggs... ...ok... not really ... for robust long distance file transfers and for simple backups.
screen
You know you've a `screen` addiction when you see yourself trying to change virtual desktops or browser tabs using `screen` key commands!
I prefer it over `tmux` because `screen` can be used on serial lines without needing helpers like `cu` or `minicom`. Drop me a line when `tmux` adds that feature. That'd be the signal to switch to it.
w3m(man)
One of the 1st things I install on nearly every new system is `w3m` because `w3mman` is a nicer man pager then `man` itself.
Unluckily `w3mman` does not correctly accept all options of `man`, so writing an a bit more intelligent wrapper function is on my eternally and acceleratingly expanding todo list (dark energy inside!) for ages now. Until that's done, I prefix calls to `man` with `\` if I really need to avoid the alias. The `LANG=#(empty)` part prevents me from being forced to read bad man page translations.
`w3m` is capable of showing graphics in `XTerm` but I rarely use that because browsing the web is one of the few things I really do in a GUI.

Have you tried setting most as /etc/alternatives/pager?yeti wrote:w3m(man)
It offers coloured man pages with no further configuration

Re: What CLI/CUI programs are you using ?
termux (on Android) offers a surprising number of these programs. I use mc, mpd+ncmpcpp, and w3m when necessary.

I use only apt and nano when I need to edit some stray file, don't see the point in using anything else on full blown GNOME. Almost forgot about

Among the many others I use udevil (automounting usb drives) +midnight commander (manipulation of files). So I do not need a graphical file managers at all.

Is there some configuration needed for it to work ?

It does not require additional configuration. For me this guy works out of the box. As regular user, i just runpawRoot wrote:Is there some configuration needed for it to work ?
