Essential.

A simple python-only volume control and OSD.

Nothing fancy, and nothing difficult. There’s no configuration, which is both a good and a bad thing.. but I can live with the developer’s defaults. No extra dependencies to speak of. Just Python.

The text editor which comes with Midnight Commander.

A decent text editor which I keep forgetting I have.

Unlike Midnight Commander itself, mcedit doesn’t appear to exist under Windows.

Mark Lord’s ‘symlinks’ utility.

Scans directories for symbolic links, and identifies dangling, relative, absolute, messy, and other_fs links. Can optionally change absolute links to relative within a given filesystem. Recommended for use by anyone developing and/or maintaining a Linux FTP site or distribution or CD-ROM.
