So, for those that are also on Ctrl-C? Hi, I'm just here to try fishing for more options to try out, as I feel my own efforts last year kinda fell short of what I wanted to accomplish. For everyone else? Hi, I'm fishing for info about an upcoming two/three week challenge I've put out for anyone participating to shift as much of what they do to the terminal as realistically possible. I feel like, in spite of finding a workflow that does work for a few things (writing, uploading, and even mail,) I fell down in several regards. ### Things I want to improve on: * Terminal/TUI ftp client: MC works, and works well enough, but I feel like I could do better. * File Managment Midnight Command has served me admirably, yet I have to wonder if there is better out there. Something that can do either just that little bit more, or use less resources, or is easier to navigate. * Learning Vi or emacs I like Micro. Micro gives me the sort of keyboard commands i'm used to using for opening/closing/save and formatting. It, however, does not have the same feature set that something like Vi or emacs offers, and I probably should learn something more robust. * Tiling Window Manager. This one is purely because I want to try slimming down. Both because my desktop is twelve years old and I have no real plans in upgrading if I can help it, and I am curious on just how little computing is needed for modern day to day. * tmux See above, but also because I want to be able to detatch from an active session that has, say, irc going and come back on either my desktop, phone, or whatever and not have any loss of what I was doing. Plus as above, see how little computer I need, and having something that can take a text enviroment and have everything from wifi, to bluetooth, to doc editing, to music, and so on going? That's cool. * MultiMedia I know in a pure TUI/command line images much less video isn't really possible, but what a terminal window? What's possible there? Is it worth persuing or is it just a party trick? if nothing else, I'd like a good way to play my music, or internet radio, or podcasts from the command line. Anyone got any sort of advice?

>>OP Definitely check out mpv. I play music from the terminal with it. It also plays videos. In fact when I want music, I type "ctrl-r play enter" which means search the terminal history for the last command with "play" in it, which for me is this: cd /Users/me/Music && mpv "$(fzf)" # play which goes to my music folder and runs mpv on the output of "fzf" which is an interactive search/finder thing. fzf might be cool for use for file management. I don't use it for that. For file namagement I use find/rm/mv/rsync/cp/ls/tree etc. Definitely learn vim, but only if you want to. Once you reach medium level vim skill nothing compares. Just get your feet wet imo... I'vw been using only Terminal + browser + video games for years now. I don't need other software XD.

>>OP Vi is fire, i think that the power that Vi offers is uncomparable principally when talking about beginners, but the the other things in UNIX command line is very important, also i think that giving power to the user to better control the system is a important step to a better network
