Terminal Tools for Text Titans

• EmacsConf 2025 Call for Proposals deadline is September 19th!

  The conference will be December 6-7 Submit your talk ideas at emacsconf.org/2025/submit/

Just for fun, today we’re going to check out some terminal-based applications that might overlap with things you can do in Emacs:

• Profanity: XMPP client
• nnn: File browser
• cmus: Music player
• btop++: System monitor

One goal is to try and set these up to work well in the Foot terminal and maybe wire them into a Sway environment to call them up quickly or pin them to workspaces.

Some others to maybe try:

• fzf
• zoxide
• lnav (not in guix)
