Use Ctrl-Z to switch back to Vim
I frequently need to execute random command in my shell. To achieve it I pause
Vim by pressing Ctrl-z, type command and press fg<Enter> to switch back to Vim.
The fg part really hurts me. I just wanted to hit Ctrl-z once again to get back
to Vim.
I could not find a solution, so I developed one on my own that works wonderfully
with ZSH.
