His workflow involves typing "fg %1" and expecting that to bring him back to the specific job that he had as %1, which might now be %4. I really do recommend that he look into migrating his workflow to a terminal multiplexer. The screen equivalent (without rebinding keys) of fg %1 would be Ctrl-A 0.
