| I'm trying to remap the tab key to call a custom elisp function, but
| can't quite get it work.  Here's what I have:
|
| (global-set-key [tab] 'indent-or-complete)

Changing the tab key in the global keymap is unlikely to work, as many
major modes will bind this key in their local keymaps.  Check out the
story on global vs local keymaps in the info file.
