Subject: [PATCH] tmux: use send-keys -l for literal text input

Without -l, tmux send-keys treats spaces as key-name separators,
so multi-word messages like "This is your time" get split into
individual unrecognized key names instead of being typed as text.
This caused idle nudges to arrive as blank messages.
