TAB does not do anything for pcvs, dired, log-view and maybe others. It would be nice if TAB would do something for these modes too. A navigational semantic like info/help/man do seems that would be intuitive (it should certainly be better than the current "error because the buffer is read-only" behavior). (similarly for backtab) Thoughts?
