For very long local builds, like a full bitbake, I do `&& bell` so I know when to tab back to my build terminal.

i.e. `bitbake bsp-vendor-full-image || beep && beep` so I get a sound when things finish, whether it failed or succeeded.

I added an alarm to my prompt so it happens every time a command finishes. I only use a visual bell, which propagates through tmux and my window manager. So basically, if I'm focused elsewhere when a command finishes, I have a nice indicator reminding me to go back.
