Subject: Re: Making the tab key insert a tab
Date: Sat, 26 Nov 2022 08:53:19 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <202211261553.2AQFrJbi001409@randytool.net> (raw)

	Quoth Gregory Heytings:

	'You can use (global-set-key (kbd "TAB") 'self-insert-command).'
	We have a winner!  Thanks.  How could I have missed it.

	Quoth Dr. John Haman:

	'You might take a look at the documentation for variable
`tab-always-indent`. I bet if you set `tab-always-indent` to nil, you
can get the behavior you are looking for.'
	I had already tried this, to no avail.
	I used to live in Maryland.
