Hello,

The TAB and RET key behave differently for Git-Log-View mode and 
Outline View mode.  If TAB will consistently expand and collapse the 
bullet point on the tree and RET will consistently do across the two 
modes whatever the similar thing is, that will improve the UI.

Having consistent keybindings in modes for navigating bullet points 
on trees in general will greatly improve the UI experience.

A under Git-Log-View mode
* TAB (translated from <tab>) runs the command log-view-msg-next
* RET (translated from <return>) runs the command log-view-toggle-entry-display

B under Outline View mode
* TAB (translated from <tab>) runs the command outline-cycle
* RET (translated from <return>) runs the command View-scroll-line-forward

steps to reproduce in Git-Log-View mode
* open emacs by 'emacs -Q'
* goto emacs source directory
* apply C-x v l runs the command vc-print-log
* goto the first line with a bullet point
* goto A and perform TAB, RET

steps to reproduce in Outline View mode
* open emacs by 'emacs -Q'
* view file emacs/admin/README
* apply C-c C-t runs the command outline-hide-body
* goto the first line with a bullet point
* goto B and perform TAB, RET

observed behavior
* TAB, RET key behave differently for expanding and collapsing the bullet point in the two modes

expected behavior
* TAB, RET key behave consistently on bullet point headlines across the two modes

There's absolute no guarantee in Emacs that a key behaves the same in
tow different modes.  Even if those two modes can be argued to be
similar in some sense.

Yes, I know.  Emacs unboxes with unpleasant defaults.  I was 
pleasantly surprised TAB expands and collapses the bullet point in 
Outline View mode.  If memory serves.  I used to have to look up 
how to do that.  What key to use.  Maybe the TAB behavior was 
pulled from Org mode to Outline mode.  Having the same key to expand, 
collapse the bullet point headline is the "Right thing to do(R)[TM]".

Perhaps, there could be configuration infrastructure policy overlay 
for having bullet points expand, collapse with the same key.  I would 
use that to page up/down View mode with B and SPC everywhere.

possible expand, collapse keybindings for bullet point headline
* TAB
* RET
* SPC

We were hit by this unpleasant problem in diff-mode with outline-minor-mode.
In diff-mode TAB moves point to the next hunk, because in browsers TAB moves
to the next link.  But in outline-minor-mode TAB should expand and collapse
on the heading because TAB does this in Org mode.

So we were forced to add such filter:

  (defcustom outline-minor-mode-cycle-filter nil
    "Filter out positions on the heading available for cycling."
    :type '(choice (const :tag "Everywhere" nil)
                   (const :tag "At line beginning" bolp)
                   (const :tag "Not at line beginning"
                          (lambda () (not (bolp))))
                   (const :tag "At line end" eolp)

Then you can choose: when point is at the beginning of the outline heading,
TAB can expand and collapse outlines, when point is not at the line beginning,
TAB moves to the next hunk.

Is that some new way of convincing the maintainers to be more amenable
to your opinions and suggestions?  If so, it isn't working.

A TAB as a means to cycle visibility could be a natural thing in
outline modes, but log-view-mode is not an outline mode, it's derived
from different parents.

FWIW, I consider this not a good UI.  Having point one column to the
left or to the right of where you want to be is quite frequent, so
making a key sequence produce a very different effect depending on
that is far from being the best idea, IMO.

To me, this tells that these two modes, and the user expectations and
habits to go with them, are simply incompatible, and we shouldn't try
mixing them.  If someone wants a diff-mode-like outline mode, let's
make such a mode, and leave the original diff-mode alone.

Of course, it's not a good UI - it's a trade-off.

This problem is not specific to diff-mode.

It was just an example.  There's no limit on the number of modes we
can have in Emacs.

Having the same keybinding function on the aster at position one on 
the line to unroll/rollup the headline/detail is an opportunity 
for improving the UI intuitivity across these two modes.  From an 
enduser perspective.

Only from some irritants.

I'm an end-user as well, please don't forget that.

I think it's unfortunate that outline minor mode uses TAB, because it
crashes with so much else we're using that key for.  But I guess
there's not much we can do about it at this point.

Yup.  So I think that's the workaround here, and there's nothing really
to be done in this bug report, so I'm closing it.

I think outline minor mode and org mode should coordinate to work 
well with diff-mode TAB moves.  Use TAB and S-TAB for moving forward 
and backward to points of interest.  Use ` immediately above the TAB 
for operating on that context.  What you can do is have a file for 
design language roadmap guidance forward to overtime have 
contributors align how the TAB is to be used and phase in new 
behavior.  Give it 18-months to align and grandfather in old behavior 
people have grown callous for and are insensitive to pain point.

When I originally proposed the outline cycling commands I
suggested C-TAB and S-TAB which I've been using for several
years.  C-TAB was rejected because it doesn't work in the
terminal.  I'm GUI only (macport) and haven't tried Emacs 28
yet, but if I find TAB conflicting with things, I hope it's
easy for me to change it to C-TAB and have it work anywhere
on the line.

I understand not wanting terminal to be a second-class
citizen (and that it has many users), but I wish its
limitations weren't so constraining on the GUI.
