Another few emacs questions

Another few emacs questions

[mowgli]

At times when writing a shell script, I am unable to tab and have to
use spaces instead (like when writing if statements). This only
happens sometimes. At other times this is fine.

This same problem I  have seen in jed. Is there a way to be able to
tab when needed?

How would you save a macro, in other words, map a key to use a command
sequence? What to put in .emacs?

You can use the command global-set-key. For example:

(global-set-key (quote [f10]) (quote command-name))

Does "C-q TAB" do what you want?

Like

    (global-set-key (kbd "<f9>") (kbd "C-a <down> M-x foo RET ..."))
