Oh wow, there's a command line email and calendar client. Thanks for bringing these to my attention. I'm still, slowly, learning vim keybinds so vifm is out for me.
What's the difference between btm and top/btop? What does ag do for you differently than grep?
btm is one of many alternatives to top. It works very well for me because it is fast and has nice usability.
I found ag more intuitive to use, and it's lightning fast. Here's a detailed comparison of features: https://beyondgrep.com/feature-comparison/
Awesome, I'll check the link out. Thanks for your time.
