I didn't knew about typo. One surprising unix program I discovered this year is cal (or ncal). Having a calendar in your terminal is sometimes useful and I wish I knew earlier I could type things like ncal -w 2020
- aasasd 7y agoPersonally I prefer using the Mac app Alfred for things like that—basically a graphical one-shot terminal with autocompletion for a bunch of frequently-used stuff, in the vein of Spotlight. I whipped me up a script in Lua just so the calendar is faster than a readymade one in Python. However, Alfred needs to be bent somewhat to output content like a calendar in its suggestions.
