Was facing a problem with tmux where the panes just used to freeze up. I
finally found today, the problem had nothing to do with tmux and the
culprit was flow-control.

This totally unused feature is causing a lot of confusion in the
community and unrelated bug reports and support questions are being
raised for other applications because of the flow-control problem (Just
search for 'tmux pane freeze') and see how many results you get.

I totally agree that this feature should be duabled by default.

  Please disable flow-control by default

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: coreutils

  Not sure if this is the right package, but I think flow-control
  (XON/XOFF - ctrl-s/ctrl-q) should be disabled by default. It's easy to
  hit ctrl-s instead of for example ctrl-a (in screen), and wonder why
  your shell isn't responding anymore. I doubt many people use it
  anyway, and those who do can enable it.
