z and autojump are great, but if you want a full fledged file manager you should try ranger: https://ranger.github.io/ https://ranger.github.io/ For news, newsboat is quite nice: https://newsboat.org/ https://newsboat.org/ For parsing and select actions over url links you can use urlview (it works perfectly with pdftotext, newsboat, mutt, vim, w3m, etc.): https://github.com/sigpipe/urlview https://github.com/sigpipe/urlview You can download webpages with httrack: http://www.httrack.com/ http://www.httrack.com/ rsync is a fundamental tool to move files between computers or do backups, forget about scp: https://rsync.samba.org/ https://rsync.samba.org/ You can work with most pdf and ps (those that are not scanned images) using your usual text tools, http://www.xpdfreader.com/ http://www.xpdfreader.com/ There are even ready to go pdf + grep commands: https://pdfgrep.org/ https://pdfgrep.org/ Somewhat meta, when you live in the terminal you need to be sure that you are a bit POSIX compliant. shellcheck is a good tool for that: https://www.shellcheck.net/ https://www.shellcheck.net/ Finally, there are a two packages that should be in any distributions (include commands like vidir, parallel, watch, etc.): https://joeyh.name/code/moreutils/ https://joeyh.name/code/moreutils/ https://gitlab.com/procps-ng/procps/ https://gitlab.com/procps-ng/procps/
