Me too! I am a data engineer so whenever I have pipeline jobs running, I have a script that monitors them. When the jobs finish, an audio plays stating the job has finished and its status. Thats just one convenient script out of dozens.

Makes life much more easier when I can play video games or read books without having to check status every 20 mins.

Though I haven't created as many as you have. Would you mind sharing some of them??

Thousands is probably hyperbole, but there are many, many!

One that I find regular use for when copy+paste does not work because I am either connected to a terminal emulation, vm, or something of the like is typeitforme. It takes the contents of a text file and sends them through the keyboard buffer after a few second delay (that allows me time to switch focus to the window I want the typing done).

I currently have it as a entry in my ~/.bash_aliasas file.

alias typeitforme='sleep 3 && xdotool type --file '

This works in stock Ubuntu Linux. You can check out the xdotool documentation for ideas how to refine it to do more.
