Hey all. I'm looking for a pure Python TUI library similar to Termbox. I would be perfectly satisfied if it was able to do just:
-
Writing Programs with Ncurses
I just discovered this lovely little library:

Help me understand the possibilities of Bash (best uses, etc)
Aside from the obvious uses - command line scripts - you can also do quite a bit with the GUI. Check out Yad for bash script GUI. X11 related tools like wmctrl, xdotool allow you to create spectacular scripts. I write and use numerous dynamic menus created with bash + jgmenu.

What are the tools that improve your workflow by a lot?
yad pushing your shell scripts to the next level via user inputs. For example i wrote a small script which lets me select an environment and an app and the url+port is written into the clipboard.

Most feature rich file manager?
I make a lot of use of yad (which I think is in the standard repository) to give a GUI-like feel to my scripts. yad is a significant advance over zenity.

Script for dialog box asking if I want too launch programs on the weekend
You might want to look at yad to add a GUI dialogue box to your script. Something like:
-
Showing GUIs from Shell Scripts
I like yad[0] for this. For example, I use it to present a GUI color picker to change/insert colors in Vim (via a plugin called vCoolor[1]). I also use it in some i3/sway scripts that need user input or to show a progress bar.
