No, applications can and do trap either ^z or the signal it generates (not sure which). I'm a vi user [0] but I'm pretty sure emacs requires ^z^z to STOP.

[0] autocorrect lol of the day: "I'm a vi[rgin]"

emacs stops on a single ^z. You can trap it based on SIGTSTP though (Terminal SToP, a distinct signal from SIGSTOP, which I don't think can be trapped).

I guess one of my plugins steals ^Z; maybe evil-mode itself.
