Consider also cdhist.

FZF: make CTRL-T work with directories outside the current one
Again, not answering your question directly but you could consider using cdhist which allows FZF to search over all your previously visited directories.

Jmp: you'll never want to cd into a directory again
Another option is cdhist which can work with fzf to fuzzy search over your directory history, rather than immediate directory paths. That is more useful to me.

What is a program that you use that's uncommon but essential for you?
I use ranger frequently also, e.g. for navigating around an unfamiliar directory tree to see what dirs and files are there. But cdist automatically keeps track of all directories I cd to and allows me to quickly jump back to any of them. Generally I work in various projects/dirs etc, and then just cd -- to switch between them (or I sometimes use fzf nowadays which can fuzzy search that cdhist history).

Use fzf to fuzzy search and select from previously visited directories on Linux
@wixig, can you please raise an issue on github for cdhist support. Not really appropriate here on reddit.

So I decided that I do something way simpler. I suggest you read my README, or just check out my dotfile repo: https://github.com/alexaegis/dotfiles

What is a program that you use that's uncommon but essential for you?
Another example on how the modules matter more than pont itself. On it's own it has 0 context on what XDG folder locations are, but I have an xdg module (https://github.com/AlexAegis/dotfiles/tree/master/modules/xdg) that has an environmental file in ~/.config/environment.d listing my XDG config (which is pretty much the default but that doesnt matter) And a named, environment script. These environment scripts are always run, no matter what. And I'm using them to source environmental variables, so if ANOTHER module is dependent on xdg because I'm using these variables, it doesnt matter if my environment has these variables or not, pont will load them, from there.
What are some alternatives?
