Description

If there is a vim process suspended in the background like this:

On entering the vim command again, the background process is resumed instead of starting a new process.

Steps to reproduce

Open a vim process. Suspend it using Ctrl-Z. Then again type vim at the prompt. The background process is resumed instead of starting a new one.

Can you confirm disable zim to ensure it is what's doing this. I don't think it does anything that should case this behavior.

This is a feature of Zsh that we enable in the environment module:

• AUTO_RESUME resumes an existing job before creating a new one.

You can add setopt NO_AUTO_RESUME at the end of your .zshrc file to disable this.

Thanks, it worked.

@Eriner, what do you think about removing the AUTO_RESUME option from the environment module? I never used this one (was doing fg instead), and I'm not sure how intuitive it is to be considered a "sane default".

[Eriner]

I too always use fg but agree that the default should be changed to make the foregrounding an explicit operation (vs an implicit same-binary fg).
