What

The keybinding to background the current task (send it to run in the background) now accepts both ctrl+b and the tmux-safe chord ctrl+x ctrl+b. This prevents conflicts in tmux sessions where ctrl+b is the prefix key.

Details
  • Both shortcuts trigger the task:background action in the Task context
  • In tmux, the displayed hint automatically shows ctrl+x ctrl+b instead of ctrl+b
  • The previous ctrl+x again to archive binding hint is removed; ctrl+x ctrl+b is the canonical form
Evidence

Keybinding table change (search for "ctrl+x ctrl+b") — dA8 keybinding table at line ~11817

Strings lifted out of the shipped bundle, so the claim above can be checked against them.
