##Current Utilities

###MATE

i'm using mate as a backend to handle all that dconf garbage etc. apart from a
few daemons, everything is launched from mate-session

###herbstluftwm

i was using awesome for a while, but dealing with all that lua got annoying.
herbstluftwm has the really interesting concept of allowing manual tiling of
frames and then providing automatic layouts for inside those frames. in theory,
it's the best of both worlds, but it gets kind of confusing, so i've just set
the layout to always be max. this way frames basically just have multiple tabs
for me that can by cycled through. it's really neat for saving screen space!
(try splitting a screen with both an editor and a terminal on one side and all
your documentation on the other)

###urxvt

yay for mouseless copy-pasta!
if you've never seen it, check out
[urxvt-perls](https://github.com/muennich/urxvt-perls).

###ranger

yay for everything about ranger!

###sxiv

were it not for being completely cut off from any file management, sxiv would
be the best thing to ever happen to images. i've been looking into adding a
feature of some sort for it to communicate selections to the outside world.

###pentadactyl

if you've never heard of it, try pentadactyl NOW.
suddenly a browser is no longer a thing that necessarily
breaks your workflow when you have to refer to it for
information. oh, and try [setting your hint keys](http://5digits.org/pentadactyl/faq#faq-hintkeys).

###dunst/dmenu/compton/lemonbar/nitrogen

useful things all around.
