Whisperity 6f7a50dca8 feat(fancy-ctrl-z): Flip-flop between two backgrounded jobs 
Added a feature to `fancy-ctrl-z` which, if and only if there are
precisely two backgrounded jobs, switches between them (using `fg %-`)
when bringing back something to the foreground.

fancy-ctrl-z

Allows pressing Ctrl-Z again to switch back to the most recently backgrounded job. If there are precisely two backgrounded jobs, Ctrl-Z will toggle between them, bringing the other one back.

To use it, add fancy-ctrl-z to the plugins array in your .zshrc file:

plugins=(... fancy-ctrl-z)

Motivation

I frequently need to execute random commands in my shell. To achieve it I pause Vim by pressing Ctrl-Z, type command and press fg to switch back to Vim. The fg part really hurts me. I just wanted to hit Ctrl-Z once again to get back to Vim. I could not find a solution, so I developed one on my own that works wonderfully with ZSH.
