Support Ctrl-Z for job control.

[Ferada]

It looks to me like pressing Ctrl-Z does nothing, when in fact that should pause the process. Would it be possible to have that going to the shell instead of capturing all keypresses? The same issue is with Ctrl-L which should ideally refresh the screen (why's that a good idea to have? because sometimes you end up with a garbled terminal because some other process is still writing there; right now you'd have to restart to be back in a consistent and usable state).

I remember attempting it for a couple days. There was an issue with resetting the tty that I couldn't get around. I tried sending reset control codes to the tty.

ctrl-Z / SIG-STOP worked, but SIG-RUN would restore the app to a broken state on the tty. no input could be received and screen was blank.

still same reaction
seems dive didn't handle those signal rightly

Seems that blame to gocui (the lib which dive used for TUI)
https://github.com/wagoodman/dive/blob/master/runtime/ui/layout/manager.go#L4
https://github.com/awesome-gocui/gocui
lots of gocui based TUI tool (lazydocker, lazygit..) not support Ctrl+Z
