I have recently needed to run Emacs 23.2 on a MacOS-X host, and have hit a behaviour that I don't quite understand. Specifically, Shift-Tab is translated into Control-y, resulting in a "yank" operation. Poking around I see a few bits and pieces relating to this, mostly seeming to sit in the realm of VT100 translation and the like. Since a quick search couldn't turn up, for me, an easy answer or an understanding of the multiple layers of translation here (and given it is more or less time for bed) I am asking your help: Where should I go looking to most quickly cut through this morass and understand what is translating my respectable C-tab into an unwelcome C-y?
