If this is on, apps like Dictionary do not come to the foreground when
opened. Terminal retains focus

If I don’t do this, then 9 and 3 on my keyboard numpad have weird

Do this so tmux works well for resizing panes with C-b arrow:

It’s a little tricky to get right:
- Profiles > LZ > Keyboard
- Copy the Action for ‘ctrl-left’
- Tap the plus icon
- Key: up arrow
- Modifier: control
- Action: Send Text
- Paste into the input box, then delete the final D and replace it with
A or B
