I have a coworker named Jake who is a big fan of command line tools. Here some of the tools has recommended and I am learning. Below is a list of tools he recommended.

• Wezterm
  • Modern terminal emulator with multiplex features built in (no need for tmux)
  • Settings
• Clink
  • Modern shell for windows, makes using the terminal for finding files or auto completions easy
  • Settings
    • clink set exec_match_style -1
      • This lets you autocomplete any file for executables. Allowing you do to start sln<tab> and have it auto complete to start Dune-ADC-Code.sln which lets me open visual studio from command line (Works for any file type)
    • Clink completions
      • Adds more completions, importart for git operations

  • Settings
    • Clink aliases

  • Super fast grep
• fd
  • Super fast file find
• neovim
  • Best editor in Jake’s opinion
  • Settings (These are personal and you should probably write your own, A good started config is called LazyVim)
• Kanata
  • Tool for software remapping of keys, I remap CAPSLOCK to ESC to make ESC more reachable
  • Settings
• gsudo
  • Adds sudo to windows, its nice. need to make sure to overwrite the default windows 11 sudo
