Which CLI app/utility you wish there was a GUI for?

yt-dlp. Too many options to remember and look up every time, but all useful and missing from GUIs when you just want to dowload audio or ‘good enough’ quality video in batches without re-encoding.

While nmtui is perfectly fine for the CLI-uninitiated, I sometimes wonder why the nm-connection-editor window doesn’t provide the same level of functionality.

This is a good use case for shell aliases. If you can identify a few of your use cases, you can give each bundle of options its own command.

This is what I use (with zsh):

   yt-dlp --no-playlist -f 'ba' -x --audio-format mp3 $1

}

yt-audio-playlist() {

   yt-dlp -f 'ba' -x --audio-format mp3 $1

}

It takes the best quality available and downloads it to mp3.
