It seems it is not the terminal emulator that does this - or, at some level it must do IO, yes, but this particular issue seems to be nevertheless configurable on the shell and editor (Emacs) levels. If you don't want Emacs to be suspended: (put 'suspend-frame 'disabled t) and/or disable the key: (global-unset-key "\C-z") I was about to say, *rebind* it to something else that is useful, but one has to be Houdini to actually use it with any enjoyment - one's left little finger *and* ring finger? If one on the other hand suspend Emacs and tries to resume it with 'fg' and the shell says fg: no job control in this shell or the equivalent, that means job control is disabled in the shell, so examine the rc files - e.g., in zsh this setopt nomonitor disables job control. -- underground experts united
