Hi, guys,
It seems to me that the mailing lists are not very popular among zsh
guys. Or we really have nothing to talk about?
But I've got a question. Once I came up why I want to have my job
suspended by pressing Cntrl-Z ? Ok, I want it to run in background
right after that. In another words how to (where) redefine action of
Ctrl-Z? Any comments why nobody should change it are also very
welcome.
All the best,
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Ctrl-Z "suspends" the job. For job control, use:
ps, jobs, bg, fg
commands to move around. :)
Take a look at these... They're quite useful (at least for me... I use it
everyday :P ).

I can't think of a elegant way of doing this automatically without a lot of
overhead. What you could do is
% bindkey -s "^Z" "bg^M"
then when you suspend something, press CTRL-Z again and it will put it in the
background.

Thanks, I will probably do it this way though actually I was thinking
about changing the sources... :)
But anyway suggestions about eliminating the second Ctrl-Z are welcome.

Eww, don't do that.
} But anyway suggestions about eliminating the second Ctrl-Z are welcome.
function autobg() {
jobs -s >| /tmp/j$$
while read jnum jdesc
do
bg %${${jnum#\[}%\]}
done < /tmp/j$$
rm -f /tmp/j$$
}
function precmd() {
autobg
}
I really question whether this is the behavior you want, though. You
might want to change the `bg ...' command in autobg to something like
case $jdesc in
(*( vi | vim | *emacs )*) ;; # Don't autobg any editors,
(*) bg %${${jnum#\[}%\]} ;; # but anything else is OK.
esac
or possibly something even more restrictive where you list the things
that you *do* want to autobg rather than those that you don't.
