Gonna have to disagree with #3 - stopping Vim is not necessary for this. There's the builtin :! command.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Had a little spark of glee looking at a fellow nix user in the wild

I had a spark of glee seeing another fish shell user.
I used "job control" a lot but never called it that. And I mostly would background or foreground tasks. I didn't know about a few of those additional commands talked about. Disown will be pretty handy.

yeah I had no idea about disown, Jesus the number of times I could have used that, I might have never learned tmux or screen :)
Hello fellow fish user.
Disown is. I even have a fish function written so I can do 'launch foo' and it'll run foo, redirect everything to /dev/null (not sure that's necessary, but doesn't hurt), and then disowns the process. Mostly because I have a habit of running stuff using whatever terminal I happen to have in front of me.
Good idea to write a function, I'll do that right now. Over the last few weeks I've been regularly doing the Ctrl+Z, bg, disown, which does get old pretty quickly. At least I now remember the terms and don't have to search for them each time I need it :D
