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

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.
