if your really cool then you omit the "fg" and just type
%job-number at the prompt.  only really cool people should
try this.

I use this.

compctl -j -P '%' + -s '`ps x | tail +2 | cut -c1-5`' + \
       -x 's[-] p[1]' -k "($signals[1,-3])" -- kill disown fg

which allows me to tab through current jobs. I got the basis for this
from someone, cann't remember who. It was originally designed for
'kill' only but I extended it for 'disown' and 'fg'. The nice thing
about this particular aproach is I don't have to perform an extra
command and muddy up my display.

Well what took you so long ;-)

It's not often that I get my message and the answer in the same batch of
messages!

Thanks for the clue!

TjL, using zsh for 3 years and still only knows .00001 of what it can do

Timothy,

Yes, there is.  Try

fg %2

It needs a % before the job id number.

Regards,

background jobs / feature request

[Timothy Luoma]

Say I have several background jobs which I can see with jobs -l which are
either running in & mode or were control-Z'd into submission

[1]    11381 running    tail -1f /tmp/console.log
[2]  - 11839 suspended  ls --ignore=.dir.tiff --ignore=.opendir.tiff
--ignore=.dir3_0.wmd --classify  |
       11840 suspended  less
[3]  + 11841 suspended  find / -xdev -newer /etc/sendmail.cw -print
[4]    11767 suspended  /usr/local/bin/pine -p
/Users/luomat/Unix/pine/pine.rc -sort arrival -f activ



Now I want to get #2 back... is there any way that ZSH could be made to
understand

fg \[2\]

or, better

fg 11839

?

This would be much more convenient, especially in the case of pine where I
have to type

fg /usr/local/bin/pine
