I'm still working thru the list, but I've noted some I will steal! 

Help yourself, I certainly did over time.   

In my 1st decade or so in Unix/Linux circles there was no such thing as a GUI, so, anything that "sensibly" saves typing is ok with me.

Besides, this is Linux - we are all thieving hackers bent on world destruction didn't you know!
