If I remember correctly, it was me who proposed this change. S-TAB is
consistent with desktop environment where Shift is commonly used as a
`reversal' modifier. I.e. TAB moves forward, S-TAB moves backward.
It makes sense for S-TAB to do that. However,
deleting Info's binding of M-TAB is a separate question.
Is there any reason not to restore that binding in Info?
Of course, there is nothing wrong in keeping M-TAB in Info mode with
the same functionality, but, please, let's not reverse the S-TAB
addition.
Sounds like there is no reason. So I am in favor of this change:
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.
Could someone please do that, then ack?
