This is distinguished correctly by describe-bindings in the list of defined keys. However, where-is says that bibtex-complete-string is bound to M-tab. Is this a bug of where-is? What key sequence should be typed for calling bibtex-complete-string if one is using a tty without a meta key? Or might it be a better idea to change the above key bindings? Thanks a lot, Roland (new maintainer of bibtex.el)
