If I get rid of one pair of parens, it works for me.
( global-set-key (kbd "C-<tab>" )
( lambda () (interactive)
(backward-word)
(kill-word 1)
)
)
With the extra parens in your code, I get 'Invalid function:
(backward-word)'. Maybe this is why you don't see any effect?
Also note that if your point happens to be on the first character of a
word, this function deletes the _previous_ word.
