Homebrew, Iterm2, Keka, Menumeters/btop, newsboat/Vienna for rss, Keepass, Veracrypt, Sublime.
Learn keyboard shortcuts like
cmd+~ to cycle through different windows of a same appln
cmd+c and cmd+opt+v for cut and paste
cmd+mouse click on a folder opens it in a new tab
cmd+shift+4 for screenshot tool and change the settings to copy the screenshot to clipboard.
Cmd+space - spotlight. Hide folders if you only want it to open apps
One more thing switch doc type to plan text in TextEdit app to use it as Windows Notepad.
I rebound cmd+~ to option+tab, because tilde is in a weird place on my Apple keyboard's locale. Easier to remember as well.
Thanks for the tip, I still find it weird we (or at least me) had to install many of this many tweaks for basic QoL features. And there's no autoscroll support is a big meh :(
Honestly most of the tools suggested in this thread not really needed. The built-in tools and shortcuts can do the job for many but the third-party tools always provide more options in every OS.
For example I cannot use Windows for work without notepad++, 7zip, WSL, SSH/SCP tools etc.
