Hi Benno,
I want ^T^Z to work by default; no option or enabling or toggling should
be required. And I agree that ^Z should do nothing by default. So...
simply unbind it and leave it up to the user to put a 'bind ^Z' in their
.nanorc? With suggestions to make this binding in the manual pages and
sample rc?
I think it might be best to keep ^Z not bound to anything.
Users familiar with the command line are thus be less surprised than if
Nano did something to their text.
Besides, should they wish to "set suspend" in the config file, ^Z should
not already be used for something else. I can't imagine suspension being
triggered by any key combination but ^Z.
Perhaps pressing ^Z could display a message such as
To enable ^Z to suspend, add "set suspend" to ~/.nanorc
instead of
Suspension is not enabled
Seb.
PS: in my .nanorc I use ^Z to match brackets.
