Actually I just want to enter some text without having to care about
different modes or redefining some internal functions. Thats why I am
using fundamental mode. If I press [tab], then the cursor should move
to the next tab stop, which should be every 8th column, as usual. All
the Emacs clones I tried (mg, zile, jove) work this way. Even xemacs'
fundamental mode works better wrt tab stops (IMHO).
iNot to mention vi.
But maybe I am too blind to see. Is there a more basic mode for Emacs
than "fundamental"?
