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).
