Unless someone bound it to something else of course :).

C-q TAB could do unexpected things if C-q's default binding was changed as well.

Emacs and Links browser

[Gilles Casse]

Hi,

I start the links browser thanks to 
M-x term
then 
Run program: /usr/bin/links
That works fine.

When I quit links, I have the error message "Current buffer has no process"
After that, pressing almost any key - even M-x or C-x - gives the same error 
message.
F10 still allows to reach the menu.

Is there a cleaner way to start and quit links via emacs ?

Many thanks,
Gilles

No, M-i will obey indent-tabs-mode, AFAIK.

In fact, I just tested it, it seems to be the case.

Also, M-i advances to the next tab stop, and if that happens to be at
a spot that a tab character cannot reach, then M-i will use spaces
even if indent-tabs-mode is t.
