Hey guy,

I know that you can start a background job with Bash doing foo &. However, the best way I know to put a foreground job to the background is to do Ctrl+z to pause it then bg 1 to resume it in the background.

Is there a faster way? Some Ctrl+Something key combination I'm not aware of?

Thanks!
