Add chapters for the top bar and its panels, screenshots and recording, toggles/idle/screensaver, browsers, shell plugins, and networking, which collects the Wi-Fi, DNS, firewall, and Tailscale material that was spread across the FAQ, TUIs, and services chapters. Fill smaller gaps in the existing chapters: user hooks, autostart, menu extensions, printing, power profiles, factory reset, drive and user passwords, passwordless sudo, firmware updates, display text size, and the LocalSend share menu.

# Shell Tools
|
|
|
|
In addition to the standard Linux tools, Omarchy also ships with a bunch of enhanced shell tools. Here are the key ones.
|
|
|
|
## fzf
|
|
|
|
[fzf](https://junegunn.github.io/fzf/) gives you fuzzy finding of files via the `ff` alias. Go to any directory, type `ff`, and you'll be able to fuzzy find your way to any file in that tree, while seeing a preview of the files you're narrowing down on the right-hand side.
|
|
|
|
You can use `Ctrl + R` to use fzf to fuzzy find through your command history.
|
|
|
|
This tool is also used by Neovim when you type `Space Space`.
|
|
|
|
The full manual can be found via `man fzf`.
|
|
|
|
## Zoxide
|
|
|
|
[Zoxide](https://github.com/ajeetdsouza/zoxide) is a replacement for cd. It remembers the directories you've been in, so you can more easily jump to them next time. Say you do `cd ~/.config/omarchy` once. Next time, you can just do `cd omarchy` (or even just `cd oma`), and Zoxide will take you directly there.
|
|
|
|
The full manual can be found via `man zoxide`.
|
|
|
|
## ripgrep
|
|
|
|
[ripgrep](https://github.com/BurntSushi/ripgrep) searches the contents of files by using `rg <pattern> <path>`, like `rg Controller app/` to find all mentions of `Controller` in the directory app.
|
|
|
|
This tool is also used by Neovim when you type `Space S G`.
|
|
|
|
The full manual can be found via `man rg`.
|
|
|
|
## eza
|
|
|
|
[eza](https://eza.rocks/) is a replacement for ls. It gives you directory listings with more information, color, and icons. By default, eza has been aliased as ls. You can also use `lt` to get a listing of two-deep levels of nesting. `lsa` gives you a listing including hidden files. And `lta` a nested listing with hidden files.
|
|
|
|
The full manual can be found via `man eza`.
|
|
|
|
## fd
|
|
|
|
[fd](https://github.com/sharkdp/fd) is an easier to use replacement for `find`. Use `fd person.rb` to find a file called `person.rb` within the current tree. `fd person.rb /` will search the entire file system. `fd person.rb / -H` searches the entire file system, including hidden directories.
|
|
|
|
The full manual can be found via `man fd`.
|
|
|
|
## bat
|
|
|
|
[bat](https://github.com/sharkdp/bat) is `cat` with syntax highlighting, line numbers, and paging. Run `bat somefile.rb` and you'll see why it's hard to go back. It's also quietly doing work for you elsewhere: it's what colors your man pages, and what renders the previews in `ff`.
|
|
|
|
The full manual can be found via `man bat`.
|
|
|
|
## tldr
|
|
|
|
[tldr](https://tldr.sh/) is the antidote to man pages that open with three screens of history before showing you a single example. `tldr tar` gives you the handful of invocations you actually wanted.
|
|
|
|
## yt-dlp
|
|
|
|
[yt-dlp](https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp) downloads video from YouTube and hundreds of other sites. `yt-dlp <url>` grabs the best quality available into the current directory.
|
|
|
|
The full manual can be found via `man yt-dlp`.
|
|
|
|
## try
|
|
|
|
[try](https://github.com/tobi/try) makes it easy to manage programming experiments with date-stamped directories. All experiments live in `~/Work/tries` and you can access them via `try`.
