C-z is about as fundamental a keybinding as C-a, C-e, C-f and C-b. If you run "emacs -nw" how do you pause it to get back to your shell prompt? In fact, C-z works in vi (and less and tar and rsync and ssh (sort of) ...) as well. There is a very good reason C-z is bound to suspend-frame.


Which is why the proposal in the "PROPOSAL: Repurpose one key..." thread mentions that C-z C-z would be bound by default to suspend-frame.
