I suggest using its equivalent M-C-i.
That's OK too.
Or maybe lisp-complete-symbol
should have an aliased keybinding S-TAB?
No, no, please. Let's not swap modifiers. Let's leave S-TAB alone.
What's so bad about ESC-TAB? I use it all the time. It should complete
symbols in every editable buffer, including the minibuffer, IMO.
BTW, info.el dropped M-TAB in favor of S-TAB. Unfortunately, this
makes `Info-prev-reference' inaccessible on ttys where S-TAB is not
available. I think info.el, help.el and wid-edit.el should bind both
S-TAB and M-TAB to the same commands: S-TAB for window environments,
and M-TAB for ttys. The current binding of M-TAB (`complete-symbol')
makes no sense in these modes anyway.
Let's leave S-TAB alone here too. It should be M-TAB (or ESC-TAB, for those
of us who don't have M-TAB).
