Hi,
When using describe-function, have shift-tab to move cursor to the
previous link in the text.
for example, do C-h f search-forward. Then, press tab a few times,
then it'd be nice to press shift-tab to move back.
Thanks.

Emacs already does this.
[In a Help buffer]: C-h k S-<tab>
<backtab> (translated from <S-iso-lefttab>) runs the command
backward-button, which is an interactive compiled Lisp function in
`button.el'.
It is bound to <backtab>, M-TAB, <menu-bar> <Help-Mode> <Move to
Previous Button>.
(backward-button n &optional wrap display-message)
Move to the nth previous button, or nth next button if n is negative.
If n is 0, move to the start of any button at point.
If wrap is non-nil, moving past either end of the buffer continues from
the other end.
If display-message is non-nil, the button's help-echo string is
displayed.
Any button with a non-nil `skip' property is skipped over.
Returns the button found.
