To open a file to edit in gedit I run gedit sample.py &. But with Sublime Text it is simply subl sample.py. This opens the file to edit and it doesn't run in the background (in my shell).How would I do that with gedit?I tried exec /usr/bin/gedit $@ (copied from /usr/bin/subl) but it works like gedit &.Or alias ged=gedit $file & should do. What can I substitute $file in the alias?
How to launch gedit from terminal and detach it (just like subl command works)?
bash;background process;gedit
You could use this function:gedit() { /usr/bin/gedit $@ & disown ;}It:Makes a function which can be called with geditLaunches gedit (using the full path /usr/bin/gedit), passing all the arguments/files given to it using $@& disown sends it to background and disown detaches it from the terminal/shell.
