I just remapped the keys to ctrl-z after I swapped ctrl and caps lock. As you'd never suspend stuff under tmux for obvious reasons, you'll get the whole keyset for any cli/tui software.


I use tmux to replace terminal emulator tabs, I also suspend jobs all the time (most notably vim to run git commands)

In any case with your bindings you can still C-z z and it sends C-z to the process.


I'll bite. What's so obvious? I suspend jobs in bash all the time while using tmux.


Often TMUX it's for tasks you woudn't suspend. And, if any, you can just use kill -STOP and kill -CONT among other signals from another tmux pane.


Or if you want to stay in same pane, (chord, I still use C-b), :, "send-keys C-z"


+1. Was using screen with this and now tmux for the last 15 years maybe.


pinky on caps and ring finger on z ?
