I have shellcmdflag=-ic in my .vimrc to make the shell interactive
(This was done to read the alias’)
With this interactive option set, the shell command (run with ! in front)
will always make vim to go background as if Ctrl-z was pressed and I have to fg to bring back vim.
I am fine with having to fg to get vim back to front, but this interactive shell also broke vimdiff.
Whether I enter diff mode through vimdiff or :difft, I have to fg twice to get back to vim and it sometimes even crashes the whole konsole..
below is my :version from vim

Anyone had the same issue?
Perhaps instead of setting the Vim subshell to interactive mode to get your aliases, check for the
$VIMenvironment variable in your.bashrc:You’ll need to explicitly tell bash to source your
.bashrcsince it doesn’t source anything when in non-login, non-interactive mode (-c). Also, alias expansion needs enabling. In your.vimrcadd:
