- Resizing images: mogrify (part of the imagemagick suite)
- ffmpeg
- pdftk is king for rotating/cropping/appending pdfs
- LaTeX everything
- make/shell - to script/automate image and document editing
- pandoc is reasonably good for many things
- latex2rtf - to get plain text for word counts out of LaTeX source
- wc - word count, line count
- ispell -t - does spell check in the terminal. The -t is so that it’ll mostly ignore LaTeX commands in the source
I’m sure there’s more but I don’t memorize them, they kind of get remembered when I need them.

Rsync for moving files and backing up.

The ultimate it-just-works CLI tool.
Although I have never understood why it’s called rsync, because you need to add --recursive to make it actually sync a file tree, which is what it does best.

find -exec is essential to process multiple files
7z handles wildcards inside a find -exec so you can save 200 lines of sh compliance
mpv plays online media since it uses yt-dlp
