The keybinds you can set up in e.g Ranger for navigating or moving files are incredibly fast and easy. Sure you could just use shell commands/aliases etc. but the visual representation of the file system that a TUI provides, I find really useful.
Openboard with swipe is the current champ 💪
maybe look into udiskie for automounting/unmounting your external drives. It notifies, ejects and powers them off nicely with a terminal command you could alias, script or keybind to something real simple. Then in ranger I have ‘gm’ set as shortcut to go to media. I don’t need the GUI file manager that often anymore.
@sparedwhistle@lemmy.ml the way to to use this is with an org-headline or task. For example you have an org document with “*TODO Write 500 words”. When you start the task ‘M-x-org-clock-in’ whilst your cursor is on the headline and when you finish ‘M-x-org-clock-out’. You’ll see a timer running in the modeline and It’ll take care of the properties for you on completion.
I use Ctrl-w-c (it’s on the same side of the keyboard) or space-b-k. I’m sure you could you set your own convienient shortcut, it’s Emacs after all.
