Heres a good response on SO: https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/223432/in-zsh-how-can-i-more-quickly-disown-the-foreground-process/223433#223433
Having a global keybind to disown the foreground process is impossible: Keystrokes are received by the foreground process, not by the shell. You need to first suspend it with Ctrl+z if you want to disown it.
However, turns out there’s a zsh option to speed up disowning then continuing: With
setopt AUTO_CONTINUE
,disown
will automatically also send SIGCONT.
So you can get it down to
C-z
disown
.
Yup, I agree.
It looks like ffmpeg is using about 1/3 of the processing power, but this is likely intentional, because if it froze your computer you’d be pissed.
