I use: * ranger for file management (if I need a file manager); tried MC which I didn't like. Tried to use krusader (which also is a commander-like FM for kde), but it also never worked for me... I just have no need for a split view in 99% of the cases, and ranger IMHO uses the space uch better.: * notmuch + offlineimap (with an eye on isync) + msmtp for mail - there is also a notmuch extension for mutt: * feh as image viewer: * llpp for pdfs (occasionally qpdfview and evince, if I feel like it): * urxvt as terminal: * vim as an editor (with more than one eye on neovim ;)): * everything inside awesome wm:
