How to open last edited file in Vim
While googling “How to open my last edited file in Vim”, I found this excellent StackOverflow post.
It turns out that, in most Unix shells, you can suspend your current running process (Vim
in this case!) using ctrl + z
, putting in the background.
Then to recover the Vim session you can use fg
, which is a unix command
that continues a stopped job by running it in the foreground (fg) again.
Here it is in action!
