+# fancy-ctrl-z
+
+Allows pressing Ctrl-Z again to switch back to a background job.
+
+To use it, add `fancy-ctrl-z` to the plugins array in your zshrc file:
+
+```zsh
+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<Enter> 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.
