Lots of great software already posted, but with some complaints about windows inefficiencies I can't believe no one has posted:
Microsoft PowerToys https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/powertoys/
Basically, it's a suite of tools that windows devs have made to make their lives easier while working in windows. Some features have made it into actual windows releases over the years, but most not.
It has an always on top, batch rename, customisable window snapping, better search, keyboard key remapper, mouse across multiple devices, colour eyedropper, and many many more.
Absolute must have for anyone that uses windows regularly.
Specific example: the caps lock key is useless and only ever activated on accident when I fat-fingered the A key. Remapped it to F-13 which exists as a kind of place holder with no function since keyboards stop at F-12; then set F-13 as my push-to-talk key in Discord, so now I've got a super conveniently located PTT that won't disrupt anything (like switching to aLL CAPS WHEN I INEVITABLY MISS THE A KEY).
Small change, absolutely love it. 10/10
I can tell you aren't a
viuser because you would've remapped it toctrl.I'm a vi user that maps it to Esc
Ah, right.
I'm an emacs user, so that's why I didn't remember the vi bindings accurately.
I'm a vi user that maps it to backspace (also the Colemak-DH default)
I used caps as escape for a while, but then I switched to the Colemak-DH layout which uses it as backspace and I like that even more.
