Somehow AutoHotKey is kinda good now
It was only when I started writing my own sxhkd-inspired hotkey daemon[1] for Windows that I really started to appreciate just how _good_ AHK is. Even just for hotkey binding, AHK does some incredibly clever stuff very transparently to provide for such an excellent end-user experience. For example, using system hooks automatically when the user tries to bind a hotkey combination that is reserved by the system (usually win+something) is implemented so well. Really excellent software and I miss it when I'm using Linux or macOS.

AutoHotkey v2 Official Release Announcement
I ended up using AHK for komorebi[1] because I was still new to Windows when I start writing it and I didn't wanna have to write a tiling window manager AND a hotkey daemon. I even ended up generating a nice little AHK library to wrap around CLI commands that sent socket messages to the window manager to make it easier to write a configuration.
Ultimately the syntax changes make it impossible to fully reproduce the same library for AHKv2, which is being installed by default on all mainstream package managers now.
I ended up biting the bullet and making my own hotkey daemon[2] for use with komorebi based on skhd[3] and I haven't looked back since. This will be the "blessed" hotkey daemon recommended for use in the next release of komorebi.
I'm still using AHK (v1) for the stuff that it's good at (and there is a lot of stuff that it's good at!), but ultimately I've found that it's not the right tool as a hotkey daemon for a socket-based tiling window manager.

Fsearch, a fast file search utility for Unix-like systems
Hi, author here.
Likely the most significant benefit is the more powerful query language. For example you can also search by file modification date or size and use boolean operators. https://github.com/cboxdoerfer/fsearch/wiki/Search-syntax

Bfs 3.0: The Fastest Find Yet
Yes, FSearch is the one I use, but it's not as great, per FSearch's dev:
> However, FSearch doesn't automatically detect changes made to the file system and update its index then. This is on the roadmap (it's called inotify support) but it'll never work as smooth as Everything on Windows, because the Linux kernel isn't particularly good at reporting filesystem changes
https://github.com/cboxdoerfer/fsearch/issues/26
Everything is comprehensive + instant + always up-to-date, that's so awesome a combo it's a pity it's Windows only

Copy all mp3-files from several subdirectories into a single directory
If you are new and wish a simple way to search, fsearch is a very nice tool.... https://github.com/cboxdoerfer/fsearch

How and why am I seeing files that I have no access to?
One other program I've been particularly enjoying recently is fsearch : https://github.com/cboxdoerfer/fsearch

baloo is using 36 GB space, is that normal?
If you don't need content indexing, Fsearch is an alternative. I've been using it for over a year now and it's been working flawlessly. Results are near instant and the db is in single digit megabytes.

Does Linux have an equivalent of MFT on NTFS in Windows?
But AFAIK nothing seems to use this, def not fsearch, they have an open issue - https://github.com/cboxdoerfer/fsearch/issues/26

Name the tools you can't live without!
Still remember those days of arguing on /g/ where linux longbeards stallman fanboys tried to say how this or that tool was good search... but I dont want to just find something, I want to use it that second, and I want the entire system indexed... after getting some webms to showcase that instant feel it got the message across, though later someone appeared with some dmenu trickery being similarly fast and useful... anyway Fsearch that appeared soon after me is the real deal.
What are some alternatives?
AHK_X11 - AutoHotkey for Linux (X11-based systems)
ANGRYsearch - Linux file search, instant results as you type
skhd - Simple hotkey daemon for macOS
fzf - :cherry_blossom: A command-line fuzzy finder
autopy - A simple, cross-platform GUI automation module for Python and Rust.
f2 - F2 is a cross-platform command-line tool for batch renaming files and directories quickly and safely. Written in Go!
windows-hotkeys - A lightweight, threadsafe and ergonomic rust crate to handle system-wide hotkeys on windows
edit-filenames - Renames or moves files using a text editor.
komorebi - A tiling window manager for Windows 🍉
Drill - Search files without indexing, but fast crawling
misc_settings - My opinions are correct, you should copy them :)
QDirStat - QDirStat - Qt-based directory statistics (KDirStat without any KDE - from the original KDirStat author)
