S-TAB is consistent with desktop environment where Shift is commonly used as a `reversal' modifier. I.e. TAB moves forward, S-TAB moves backward. It makes sense for S-TAB to do that. However, deleting Info's binding of M-TAB is a separate question. Is there any reason not to restore that binding in Info? Of course, there is nothing wrong in keeping M-TAB in Info mode with the same functionality, but, please, let's not reverse the S-TAB addition. Sounds like there is no reason. So I am in favor of this change: I think info.el, help.el and wid-edit.el should bind both > S-TAB and M-TAB to the same commands: S-TAB for window environments, > and M-TAB for ttys. Could someone please do that, then ack?
