mas VS PopClip-Extensions

I have a script that installs Homebrew and App Store CLI. Then it automatically installs most of the apps I need. I use homebrew to create an up to date list for this script.

Command Line Tools: iTerm 2 alternative to the default Terminal homebrew mas homebrew bundle

I mainly use the Homebrew to manage almost every app or program, even apps on the App Store using mas. It becomes a bit of a pain when I set up a new MacBook because it takes time for me to look for the list of the apps and programs on my main MacBook and install one them by one on my new MacBook.

Most of my workflow could replicated under Mac. For the "horrible" window management I use amethyst (auto tiling) and Magnet (windows like) for search I use raycast and for software management I do use the cli with homebrew, mas and ports. The cool thing with homebrew cask you can install all programms from the web that aren't in the App Store and the App Store apps will be updated via mas. You can even update your mac with the terminal so everything like in linux.

Instead, perhaps consider file based backups, and reloading apps. For example, you can have a shell script that can fetch Homebrew, from there, fetch most non-App Store apps with brew install commands, and for App Store apps, use mas for those.

Popclip is a very popular application among macOS users that allows us to install small addons that are activated by selecting a text. It has plugins for the main search engines, but it is easy to create one personal for SearXNG. After downloading Popclip on the Mac we install PopMaker. Filling in the data is trivial.

It’s essentially a customizable pop up menu that appears near your cursor. Options range from copy/paste to translate. Here is a list of available extensions.

This doesn't replicate your exact request, but I use PopClip (https://pilotmoon.com/popclip) to handle a similar mouse-based copy/paste usecase, plus a number of others via extensions (https://pilotmoon.com/popclip/extensions). I recently switched upgraded my mac and it was one of the first things I installed.

Similar to PopClip on macOS. Like the contextual menu on iOS and Android but in this case, you can add extensions allowing you to do everything from the simple copy/paste to formatting text/list, send the text to OneNote, translation etc:
