I would like the shell to support advanced job control:
Ability to suspend processes (Ctrl+Z) and resume them (fg, bg).
Display all active jobs with jobs.
Interactively select which job to resume, for example via a numbered menu or a list to choose from, instead of manually typing fg %<job_number>.
, support both foreground and background jobs and allow managing multiple jobs simultaneously.
You can leverage existing bash/zsh functionality as a base, but the key feature is interactive job selection.
- antomal 9mo agoActually, GRSH already supports this! You can use Ctrl+Z to suspend, and fg for basic job control. Regarding the interactive selection you mentioned: that’s one of the core features I wanted to get right from the start. Instead of memorizing job IDs, you can manage them interactively. I’m a big fan of reducing the cognitive load when multitasking in the terminal, so I’m glad we share the same vision for a more modern job control experience!
