I use xpdf on my camping laptop. I like it’s minimalist interface and have gone through quite a number of programming books with it. That being said, it’s certainly not the best pdf viewer, but it gets the job done and is lightweight.

Haven’t found much written on this at the moment, but it’s not hard to wire up: every blender command can be invoked from the Python environment and you can invoke your Python script in blender from the command line (see Python Options in

I’m a huge fan of spreadsheets as config files due to their ability to compute values from formulae. I currently do this in F# using ExcelProvider, which allows you to access computed values and types at design/compile time. This is mu

I second this. F# is quite IDE friendly, and auto completion works great. Additionally much of the .NET tooling (with the exception of C# specific refactoring tools) are CIL / bytecode level and independent of CLR language. This is one

This has been around for a long time but most people don’t know about it: Dragging and dropping files from the finder into an file selector window (ie. Open File in most programs) will navigate to that file and select it. As others mentione
