Modern keyboards can produce both, and Emacs maps the latter to > the former. But there's no function key Esc on the keyboard. If the key that says "Tab" is the function key , and you produce ASCII TAB by typing C-i, that is not inherently different from the situation with ESC. You can produce the ASCII ESC character by typing C-[, so we _could_ treat the key labeled "ESC" as . That would be uniform. I don't remember whether we treat tab and esc alike in that way or not. I am mot saying we should change how Emacs handles them. I'm only saying that it is possible to do so. -- Dr Richard Stallman Chief GNUisance of the GNU Project (https://gnu.org) Founder, Free Software Foundation (https://fsf.org) Internet Hall-of-Famer (https://internethalloffame.org)
