I'll take that as a no. Excellent. One less feature! :-D
Wait, I do ;-).
I don't care whether it will be called %- or $job_order[1] or (jobs -o
1) but I do want a way to access the order in which jobs were last
activated (launched or fg'd).
In bash I have "alias gf 'fg %-'" which is very handy for alternating
between 2 jobs; given the ordering of all jobs, it will be easy to
implement more sophisticated switching...
Actually that's not what I really need. Job control is a poor
solution in today's windowed environments. What would be really nice
is for every suspended or backgrounded job to go to a new tab of the
terminal.
I'll check whether I can cook something up using 'dtach' and report back...
