Other snippets

• LaTeX snippet: common-unicode.sty
• Sphinx extension: skip.py

Others’ scripts and programs I like and fanboy about

• Ack: like grep but with good defaults for programmers. Ignores version control and build directories; trivial to customise.

  If you use Ubuntu, apt install ack-grep and define an alias ack=ack-grep in your shell profile.

• Fish, the friendly interactive shell. Has better syntax, great defaults (syntax highlighting!), and better tab-completion (substrings, not just prefixes of filenames). Defining and saving an alias is as simple as this:

  alias s sublime_text
  funcsave s
  

  This persists the newly created function s to ~/.config/fish/functions/s.fish, and it will automatically be loaded in all currently-running and future shells! No more manual fiddling around with ~/.profile.
