In `info-mode' one can use M-tab to go backward (apart from

Besides, on the same desktops is consistently used for reversing and so S-tab is used as the opposite of . Finally, S-tab is used for "going backward" in at least `man-mode' and `custom-mode'. So i think the following patch is well justified.
