This reminds me of a story from a past job. I have to get it out of my system.
There was this bearded sysadmin guy who was very proud of his "15 years of experience", and was quick to scold us new employees for every little thing he could.
He used vim, and every now and then would say that it's a good editor, but kinda "unstable". Crashed a lot, he said.
You probably know where this is going.
One day, one of us sat next to him and discovered many suspended vim jobs in his shell (this was the kind of guy that doesn't power off his computer).
He was fat-fingering C-z all the time, and has never heard of job control - bg, fg, etc.
15 years of experience.

- raverbashing 6mo agoInteresting story, but I'm surprised the OP would disable Cmd-z because that is used all the time with vim I know you might prefer to run a shell on emacs (or vim) but something only the full terminal can do what you need it to do
- MonkeyClub 6mo ago> but something only the full terminal can do what you need it to do There's always `M-x term` for a full terminal.
