That's a great thread, so many great programs ! Here's one tiny contribution :
if you're not aware of this universal markup format for screenwriting (http://fountain.io/), well not surprisingly, there's a mode for it in Emacs: https://github.com/rnkn/fountain-mode/

And this, for better integration of Emacs in i3wm: https://github.com/vava/i3-emacs.

I didn't try any of these yet.

I always install screenfetch:

It's a handy way to see some system information at a glance, plus it shows a pretty ascii icon of your current distro :^)

On an older netbook I once used a program that allowed for multiple terminals in a tiling window manager style without using any GUI or even x-org. I can't for the life of me remember the name of the program; if anyone knows what I'm talking about please post I'd be very thankful!

I just discovered ccrypt, a program to encrypt an individual file. I have been searching for a simple way to encrypt .tgz files, the way .zip files allow.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ccrypt

It is meant to replace the insecure UNIX crypt:

And here is how you use it:

$ tar cz dirname | ccencrypt > dirname.tgz.cpt
Enter encryption key:
Enter encryption key: (repeat)
$ ls dirname.tgz.cpt
dirname.tgz.cpt
$ ccdecrypt dirname.tgz.cpt
Enter decryption key:
$ ls dirname.tgz
dirname.tgz

It looks like some kind of Ableton Live software (although very minimal). I totally want to try it !

And this is a launcher that can also open files: https://github.com/markjones112358/dmenu-extended
