title: How to run scripts in background in Neovim?
body: <p>I wish I could mimic original VIM behaviour by running scripts in the background and not in the internal Neovim terminal emulator.</p>
  <p>Basically the reason is that I cannot seem to get colors to work properly, plus, I like to Ctrl+Z (put the editor in the background) and check what was the output of the last command.</p>
  <p>Anyway I can configure nvim to do the same as vim in this regard?</p>
  <p>Here is the comparison:</p>
  <p>EDIT: My tests are run by using <code>:! ./vendor/bin/phpunit {file}</code></p>
  <p>VIM</p>

  <p>NVIM</p>

  <h2>EDIT</h2>
  <p>By &quot;Background&quot; I mean, not async, in the background while Neovim is on the &quot;top&quot;. I mean, to place the editor in the background (like when we do ctrl+z, and then run the tests &quot;on top&quot;. Then I hit a key and Neovim comes back to the top.</p>
  <p>In other words, I want to configure nvim in a way that when I run a test, it is the same as doing CTRL-Z; execute test.</p>
  <p>Sorry, this may be super confusing :D</p>
