I could use some more background here. Hitting C-h k C-i says the
key was "TAB", whereas actually hitting C-h k tab says the key was
"TAB (translated from <tab>)". Is the definition of tab Ctrl-i and
then some fancy keyboards later added a Tab key? What does emacs do
under X or w32? What behavior is expected?
thanks

Yes, TAB is an ASCII char whose code is the same as C-i, just like DEL
is an ASCII char (whose code is the same as C-?). The `tab' key emits
a `tab' symbol event which is then turned into a TAB char event.

The definition of C-i is the ASCII control character with a code of 9 (TAB).
w32 also reports simply TAB for C-h k C-i, and TAB (translated from <tab>) for
the tab key. So this is not a Mac specific thing.
While I can see the connection between C-i and ASCII TAB, it does seem
inconsistent, as other control keys are not reported as their ASCII meaning
like this.

reassign 1000 emacs
stop
This issue (if it is an issue) is the same under X on GNU/Linux, so I
should not have assigned this to ns; sorry.
