Multitasking in vim - is that exists?

I use vim a lot and now I'm starting to love using tabs
(:tabnew, :tabfirst...),but I found that execution of the external
command in one tab blocks the whole vim process.

For example when I execute :make in one tab, I need to wait until this
make finish. Will be very nice if someone provide me a solution how I
can use other tabs in vim when I'm waiting something to finish in
another opened tab. I still need the :copen output of :make command to
be displayed in execution tab. I have same problem with :grep
or :Ack(from :Ack module)...

Regards,
t0d0r

I use vim a lot and now I'm starting to love using tabs
(:tabnew, :tabfirst...),but I found that execution of the external
command in one tab blocks the whole vim process.

This is my personal trick (from my ~/.vimrc):

" F12 -> Attached Screen session: {{{
" ==============================

" Build mapping: {{{
" cd $(dirname %:p) --> Change to current file's directory.
" screen
" -U -> Run in UTF-8 mode.
" -d -> Deatach if previously attached.
" -dRR vim_$(basename %:p)
"     -> Use current buffer file name as sessionname; then reattach it and, if necessary, detach or create it first. Use the first session if more than one session with same name are available.
" -p %:p   -> Use current buffer file full path as preselected (if available) window.
"     * TODO: Create this window by default when not exists.
" -c ~/.vim/screenrc
"     -> Use modified screenrc config file (see below).
"noremap <f12> :silent<space>!bash<space>-c<space>'cd<space>$(dirname<space>%:p);screen<space>-UdRR<space>vim_${PPID}<space>-e^qa<space>-p<space>"%"<space>-c<space>~/.vim/screenrc'<enter>:redraw!<enter>
"""""noremap <f12> :silent<space>!bash<space>-c<space>'cd<space>$(dirname<space>%:p);screen<space>-UdRR<space>vim_${PPID}<space>-p<space>"%"<space>-c<space>~/.vim/screenrc'<enter>:redraw!<enter>
noremap <f12> :silent<space>!screen<space>-UdRR<space>vim_${PPID}<space>-c<space>~/.vim/screenrc<enter>:redraw!<enter>
imap <f12> <esc><f12>a
" }}}

" Make screen session to be killed on exit and also prompting if dialog is installed: {{{
" ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
autocmd VimLeave * !screen -ls vim_${PPID} | grep vim_${PPID} && dialog --yesno "Leave existing screen sessions alive?" 6 40 && screen -r vim_${PPID} || kill $(screen -ls vim_${PPID} | perl -ne 's/^.*?(\d{2,}).*$/\1/&&print') && clear
" }}}

" Prepare vim's screen configuration: {{{
" ----------------------------------
" Create ~/.vim directory if not already exists.
silent !mkdir -p ~/.vim
" Create/overwrite with user's ~/.screenrc if exists.
silent !cat ~/.screenrc > ~/.vim/screenrc 2>/dev/null
" Bind F12 to 'detach' command in screen.
silent !echo 'bindkey -k F2 detach' >> ~/.vim/screenrc
" Change default screen's escape key to CTRL-Q to avoid conflict if vim itself is running in other screen session.
""silent !echo 'escape ^qa' >> ~/.vim/screenrc
" }}}

" }}}

-8<----------------------------------------

...it needs GNU screen installed (apt-get install screen in debian/ubuntu) and "magically" create / recover a screen session propperly labeled and related to the same vim instance from which it was called (it would be easier to understand simply sourcing the code and pressing <F2> key twice (or more times).

Regards.
