open file in non-block mode

[Enter feedback here]
I am new to wsl, and I want to open markdown file directly in my wsl, so I append

alias typora = '$myPathtToTypora/typora.exe'

in my .bashrc file.
But I find that as long as you open md file in wsl, you can't enter other shell commands cause that shell is blocked(I guess).
After I closed the md file, it is okay for me to enter commands again.

This is working as expected. If you run GUI applications in Linux from the command line (Like nautilus for example) in general they keep the file handle open in your Terminal Window.

If you'd like to change it, I'd recommend changing your alias to be:
alias typora = '$myPathToTypora/typora.exe &'

This will make it run in the background and free up your shell for you :)
