Nano as default editor

if you can't deal with vim as default use export EDITOR=nano (place it in your .zsh or .bash) ref. https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/501862/how-can-i-set-the-default-editor-as-nano-on-my-mac

disable keyboard nonsense like adding dots from double space

go to system settings -> keyboard -> edit

Folder cleaner

install app called "trash" with brew using brew install trash osx automator will give you problems, crontab and anacron are not used anymore instead use launchd which is similar to systemctl in linux

create a plist file nano local.downloadstotrash.plist

create a bash script with trash Downloads/*

move the plist to Library/LaunchDaemons/ load with launchctl load -w Library/LaunchDaemons/local.downloadstotrash.plist

verify with launchctl list | grep local disable with launchctl unload -w

core utils for osx
for example gdd which supports: stuff like status=progress brew install coreutils
