This is more something I relearned than learned for the first time.
Use Ctrl-Z to put a program you are running from a terminal into the background. You will be taken back to the terminal. Can do other stuff. Then use fg to bring the program you put into the background back into the foreground - back to the active program in the terminal. I think this will be useful in Vim when I don't need to have a dedicated terminal running in a window.
