  • I use rofi as my app launcher and more. I’ve share my old script here.

    I have now extended this script to support the following:

    • execute a command if the input text belongs to /bin or /usr/local/bin
    • do some basic maths (using menu-calc)
    • open url in my web browser if the input text starts starts with http(s) or ends with .xxx (where x is any letter)
    • translate the input text in English/French using the deepl website if the input text starts with dpen/dpfr
    • search the input text with searx (if all the above failed)
    • manage my web bookmarks (using buku)
    • manage my clipboard (using copyq)
    • manage my passwords and autofill fields (using pass)
    • manage bluetooth devices
    • manage audio sinks and sources
    • manage my wifi and vpn
    • manage my tmux sessions

    Khal is also my app of choice for calendars, though it may not suit OP requirements since files are .ics Everything is kept in sync on my phone with Etar and DavX5.
    Note that khal itself is the CLI aspect. It’s interactive interface (ikhal) is really the TUI aspect of this app.

    ikhal is great to manage events but I prefer to use the command-line to create events. And this is the only minor complaint I have against khal: its lengthy commands and lack of user friendly dates support (like “today”, “next mon”…). Luckily all of that is easily fixable with a script which I should upload on my codeberg one day… I actually ended up adding edition and deletion support using (neo)vim and fzf so I don’t use ikhal anymore but only creating events is really faster and easier with my script compare to using ikhal.


  • I’ve been using xterm, urxvt, and st. Also tested alacrity, kitty, and wezterm. Your shell also plays a critical role in your terminal usage (but I won’t deviate here).
    For my use-case, the latter are overkill so I stayed with st. The only missing feature for me was image support even though I use it sporadically. To cover that I use a script that relies on ueberzug or ucollage if I need to browse folders.

    I’ve wrote a small post about ucollage if you’re interested.
