APT - how to install recommended packages after installing with --no-install-recommends switch?
I installed a few packages with APT using apt-get. I used the --no-install-recommends switch with it to save some disk space.
Now I need to know: how do I install the recommended packages for the already installed programs?

Aptitude has a view in its graphical interface listing all packages which are recommended by any installed package. To reach it, install aptitude, then typeaptitudein a terminal, and then press Ctrl+t or use the mouse to go to the menu bar.

Is there any way of doing it with a simple apt-get, though?

I'm using only aptitude, so I don't know how to do this with apt-get. If you there were only few packages you installed with this option, and if you know which ones, you could maybe just reinstall them. But that's just an idea...

You can run apt-cache show package_you_care_about | grep Recommends.
This will show you all the recommended packages for that particular package. You can then install all the packages there.
For example, with gedit:
apt-cache show gedit | grep Recommends
output: Recommends: gir1.2-gtksource-3.0, zenity, yelp
sudo apt-get install gir1.2-gtksource-3.0 zenity yelp
