Jobs in command position

Open danielshahaf opened this issue 2 years ago • 1 comments

The various percent syntaxes for referring to a job (https://zsh.sourceforge.io/Doc/Release/Jobs-_0026-Signals.html#Jobs) can be used in command position to foreground that job:

% cat & 
[1] 9896
% 
[1]  + suspended (tty input)  cat
% %cat
[1]  + continued  cat

In the example, %cat should be green, even if there's no alias/function/builtin of that name.

Cf. https://zsh.org/users/27806 (user ran into this in zsh upstream).
