Subsequent non-& are not affected. In the above case (:!ls) will be successful.
What happens if you wrap &-commands into 1-liner scripts and
invoke them from :! without & ? Does it work, as a workaround ?
Like this:
:!bg.sh touch file1
where bg.sh is this script:
#!/bin/sh
"$@" & # invoke command given in argv asynchronously
Does this work ?
