+By default in OpenBSD & FreeBSD, `stty` maps `^Y` to `DSUSP`. This means that typing `^Y` will suspend `nnn` as if you typed `^Z` (you can bring `nnn` back to the foreground by issuing `fg`) instead of entering multi-copy mode. You can check this with `stty -a`. If it includes the text "`dsusp = ^Y`", issuing `stty dsusp undef` will disable this `DSUSP` and let `nnn` receive the `^Y` instead.
