Exit zsh, but leave running jobs open?

Edit your new .zshrc file your home directory. You can select themes and plugins for usage in zsh. For a complete list of themes and plugins, look in the .oh-my-zsh folder in your home directory. This was installed with zsh. There is a themes folder here and a plugins folder.
To add new plugins, find this line in .zshrc:
plugins=(git)
I like plugins, so this is my setup:
plugins=(autojump git git-extras git-flow git-flow-avh git-hubflow git-prompt git-remote-branch gitfast github gitignore svn svn-fast-info cp brew tmux history history-substring-search terminalapp brew nanoc osx xcode zsh-syntax-highlighting)
Optionally set DEFAULT_USER in ~/.zshrc to your regular username to hide the user@hostname info when you’re logged in as yourself on your local machine. For example
DEFAULT_USER=taohe
If use brew, modify PATH
Put /usr/local/bin before /usr/bin
Put /usr/local/sbin before /usr/sbin
How to get an awesome looking terminal on mac os x
zsh-completions
git clone https://github.com/zsh-users/zsh-completions ~/.oh-my-zsh/custom/plugins/zsh-completions
Enable it in ~/.zshrc by adding it to your plugin list and reloading the completion:
plugins=(… zsh-completions)
# zsh-completions
autoload -U compinit && compinit
zsh plugins
Method 1, install in oh-my-zsh (recommended)
cd ZSH/custom/plugins
git clone git://github.com/zsh-users/zsh-syntax-highlighting.git
Activate the plugin in ~/.zshrc (in last position):
plugins=( [plugins...] zsh-syntax-highlighting)
source ~/.zshrc
Method 2, install in zsh
brew install zsh-syntax-highlighting
brew install zsh-history-substring-search
more "/usr/local/opt/zsh-history-substring-search/README.md"
source /usr/local/share/zsh-syntax-highlighting/zsh-syntax-highlighting.zsh
source /usr/local/opt/zsh-history-substring-search/zsh-history-substring-search.zsh
source ~/.zshrc
themes
set ZSH_THEME in ~/.zshrc to "agnoster".
agnoster theme shows git icons but needs patched font.
Make sure you have already downloaded powerline.
fontforge -script ~/.vim/bundle/powerline/font/fontpatcher.py /System/Library/Fonts/Menlo.ttc
If you prefer the old Monaco font, you should type
fontforge -script ~/.vim/bundle/powerline/font/fontpatcher.py /System/Library/Fonts/Monaco.dfont
For macOS, Fonts are located in '/Library/Fonts/' or '/System/Library/Fonts/'.
Menlo is the new default font in Mavericks.
OS X: Fonts included with Mavericks
After running this command, 'Monaco for Powerline.otf' or 'Menlo Regular for Powerline.otf' is generated. Install the font by double-clicking the font file in Finder and click “Install this font” from the preview window.
Change iTerm fonts in
iTerm -> Preferences... -> Profiles -> (Select a profile) -> Text -> ChangeFont -> Menlo Regular for Powerline
