How to rebind C-TAB

[David Rasmussen]

I've tried

(global-set-key "\C-\t" 'indent-region)

but I get errors.

Thanks! Why does this work, and not

(global-set-key "\C-tab" 'indent-region)

which I've also tried?

[C-tab] is a vector containing a single symbol, which represents the

Control-tab pseudo-function key.  "\C-tab" is a string containing 3
characters: Control-t, a, and b.

BTW, "\C-\t" would be a string containing a single character, Control-TAB,
except that only ASCII characters and Meta-modified ASCII characters can be
elements of a string (see the Init Rebinding node of the Emacs manual).
