1 I use:
2
3 * ranger for file management (if I need a file manager); tried MC which I didn't like.
4 Tried to use krusader (which also is a commander-like FM for kde), but it also never worked for me...
5 I just have no need for a split view in 99% of the cases, and ranger IMHO uses the space uch better.:
6 * notmuch + offlineimap (with an eye on isync) + msmtp for mail - there is also a notmuch extension for mutt:
7 * feh as image viewer:
8 * llpp for pdfs (occasionally qpdfview and evince, if I feel like it):
9 * urxvt as terminal:
10 * vim as an editor (with more than one eye on neovim ;)):
11 * everything inside awesome wm:
