Mapping Ctrl-Z in insert mode?

Question

I often Ctrl-Z to the command line. Is there a way to do that in response to hitting Ctrl-Z in insert mode?

The iabbrev command does not seem to work.

Answer 1

Using :h CTRL-Z as inspiration, the following solutions can be cooked:

:inoremap <c-z> <esc>:stop<cr>

or (shorter & literally closer):

:inoremap <c-z> <esc><c-z>
