atools, which includes als, aunpack, apack. so you can stop caring about the kind of archive and just unpack it. it also saves you from shit archives that have multiple files/dirs in their root.
perl -e / perl -lne / ...
units
bc - a calculator that's actually good
pass - the only non-shit password store tool i've found so far. no gui, uses gpg and git to do the encrypting and storage/sharing
alias lr='ls -lrth' - so you can easily find the newest file, cos that's frequently what you want
unip - my script to look up things in the unicode db
find -type f -exec xzgrep 're' {} + - because xzgrep cant do -r

oh yeah, and for the shell readline, alt-b, alt-f, ctrl-w, ctrl-u, ctrl-k, ctrl-a, ctrl-e
