None of these blew my mind. If you like terminal productivity I recommend: fzf, Facebook path picker (aka fpp), fd, ripgrep, lf, tig. Some honorable mentions:

Solid selection. I'd also add nnn as the fastest tool to navigate directories I've ever seen.

  nnn is certainly very fast. lf is also fast but has ranger's look and feel.

  Have you been able to get it to cd on quit? it's the only thing I can't seem to get. It's amazing though.

    Pressing `!` in the target directory will open a new terminal session within nnn, with that path as working dir. When you `exit` you'll land in nnn again. It's not exactly the same but close enough for me.

    Hmm, if you mean the C-g behaviour then you need to set $NNN_TMPFILE: nnn() { declare -x +g NNN_TMPFILE=$(mktemp --tmpdir $0.XXXX) trap "rm -f $NNN_TMPFILE" EXIT =nnn $@ [ -s $NNN_TMPFILE ] && source $NNN_TMPFILE } You can use a static file if you're sure you'll never be running more than one instance. I'd prefer something like: nnn() { local tmp=$(mktemp --tmpdir $0.XXXX) trap "rm -f $tmp" EXIT =nnn -p $tmp $@ [ -s $tmp ] && cd ${"$(< $tmp)":h} } That will cd to the selected file's directory with enter/right, or do nothing if you simply quit. I guess it depends if you use it for browsing a lot or simply picking a file.

  Thanks for sharing! These tools actually blew my mind (fpp, nnn) and those are so useful!

Ugrep instead of ripgrep. Otherwise great selection.

I'm getting pretty into fasd as well. It's basically a drop-in replacement for z, but it's got extra goodies that merge in some of fzf as well.

Some other tools I use in case you liked the list above: bat, exa, percol, GNU dialog or zenity, xsv, ministat, gnuplot, tshark, mitmproxy. Plus any project from sharkdp and burntsushi and any tools recommended by Brendan Gregg. ht editor is a personal favorite too (press F6 and go to image to get started).
