One of the things I miss most from #FreeBSD when I'm on Linux is being able to hit ^T to get a status line showing what a long-running process is up to. Pretty much everything in base seems to emit a useful line about what it's working on (e.g. cp will tell you the file/percentage it's up to) and the system will add output with load and task state/times.

In the screenshot, I hit ^T after the “daily" line, while tarsnap was working away quietly to itself. Works on macOS too, generally.
