Thanks!

Ed Along with rlwrap it gives me a very fast and powerful workflow.

Rlwrap It wraps around a program and gives it the ability to make use ofthe readline lib.

Screen I use it when I boot without X. Gives a very fast workflow, being able to switch between programs.

Mpv Multimedia powerhouse. Even works (pretty) well without X, with a framebuffer.

Ecasound Cli daw. Have several scripts to make a recording on the fly or to be able to jam.

Alpine.

Have used crux but using low end / old hardware results in almost permanent building software.

Carch?

It does the job. And does it well.

Thanks. Will do so.

(Most?) valid point.

And could you elaborate on it? How do you roll your own?

Bring it on!

Or is it a transparent theme?

There is some truth in that statement.

I was pondering over why I go back to ed every once in a while. I think because it’s kind of a problem solving puzzle. It helped / helps me to understand and use regular expressions.

(Open)vi is my daily driver which is fine for my use case (mainly groff files to make tests and other documents).

Thanks for bringing micro up. Seems like a nice editor. Never heard of it tbh.

I should have mentioned that I meant interactive mode. Thus as editor.

I’m familiar with sed and awk.
