23.1; M-& to run commands asynchronously (async-shell-command) |
|

I propose to add a new function, async-shell-command, bound to M-&, which in
analogous to shell-command (bound to M-!) but executes the command in the
background (as if you had written an ampersand at the end of M-!).
Both functions would respectively correspond to keys ! and & in dired, only
that ! and & work only in dired but M-! and M-& would be global (work
everywhere).
The code is in this message in an old thread:
http://article.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.devel/111825
There are still some details to decide: how many buffers to open, where to
direct STDOUT, whether output should be visible, …
Some modes should be checked since they might be using M-&.
