@delgado : mc for Midnight Commander is interesting, very light. I don't know if it's highly configurable or not, I just try it out of the box.
doublecmd is very clean, I do like this graphic tool. Flameshot doesn't fit well with dwm, the icon doesn't appear on the screen to take a screenshot.
@thym : Mirage is very light and good, able to take screenshots as well. Moc is great, especially with moc-ffmpeg-plugin and dmenu_mocp (https://github.com/pscha/dmenu_mocp?tab=readme-ov-file), ffmpeg as well. Oh yeah ! Qalc is oerfect for simple calculation
Thanks !

@Camtaf : gnumeric is very useful to read .ods documents, you're right. Following your recommendation, I tried feh and I think it will be a perfect program to use within shell scripts.
@greenjeans : Scrot was my older screenshot program, I liked it a lot but import is doing the job and is sufficient for my personal use. Scrot is still installed on my computer 
Thanks for your help !

Hi,
I like CLI programs and I'm using Devuan + dwm + dmenu. I have no problem using graphics programs if necessary. Some programs have less dependencies, some have a lot of tools like imagemagick. I want to keep my system fully functional. Here are my everyday tools :
File manager : lf / mc / doublecmd
Ftp client : filezilla
Web browser : brave browser / firefox
Music player & video player : ffplay / vlc / moc + moc-ffmpeg-plugin +dmenu_mocp
Adress book : abook
Spreadsheets : sc-im / gnumeric
Emails : neomutt
Text editor : neovim
Word processor : abiword
Personal organizer : calcurse
Image viewer : nsxiv and display (imageMagick) / feh / mirage
Image editing : imagemagick
Screenshots : import (imagemagick) / scrot
System monitor : htop
Screenshot information : screenfetch
Hardware information : util-linux(dmesg, lsblk)
Video editing : ffmpeg
Calculations : qalc
Do you have any other recommendations? (I will mention them in darkblue)

Devuan with Dwm as window manager
On the left side, there is LF with thumbnails and on the right side from top to bottom :
- import to make the screenshot
- neomutt
- another thumbnail from ffplay playing the song I was listening ("Flying" from Moon)
- another LF
- the song with ffplay
