Remember to cover the basics, that is, what you expected to happen and
what in fact did happen.  You don't know how to make a good report?  See

     https://orgmode.org/manual/Feedback.html#Feedback

Your bug report will be posted to the Org mailing list.
------------------------------------------------------------------------

In 9.5, org-key-map binds org-force-cycle-archived to (kbd "C-c C-TAB").
At least on my machine, this specification is illegal: it generates an
entry in org-key-map, but the key presses yield an "undefined" message.

Binding the command to (kbd "C-c C-<tab>") instead works, but not on a
tty.

It's been my understanding that "TAB" is the ascii control character,
identical to C-i, and hence "C-TAB" cannot work.  "<tab>" is the GUI
system's key event (in my case, X), and does not work on a terminal.

Hi all,

it seems that the above bug report has gone unnoticed.

It seems the change was introduced in
565361eb698b0b39c1d823ad1565f5bd88fa2034 and persists.

Can people actually enter "C-c C-TAB" into their emacs (how?), or has
everybody has just bound another key in their config?

Best,
Ingo

Mmm, I can't seem to input C-c C-TAB either.  IIUC (but maybe I don't),
this makes sense because

- Emacs translates the function key <tab> into the control character
  TAB=^I when no modifiers are added.  I.e. this can be triggered by
  hitting <tab> or <control>+i:

> (local-set-key (kbd "TAB") (lambda () (interactive) (message "TAB-ish!")))

- But Emacs can't translate <control>+<tab> into "C-TAB", because C-TAB
  means "control+control+i", which I guess is not representable at the
  key code level or something?  Hopefully someone can explain this
  better.

(?\C-\t does return something though, and it's consistent with what (kbd
"C-TAB") returns, so I guess there's no reason why Emacs couldn't
translate C-<tab> to C-TAB like it does <tab> to TAB? 🤷)

FWIW, however you decide to fix this, I'd be very grateful if org-cycle
remained bound to TAB, since I'm one of those weirdos who actually hits
<control>+i for TAB instead of <tab>…

I think that the two actions we may want to take here are:
1. Replace "C-TAB" with "C-<tab>" in the keybinding
2. Change the keybinding to something else that doesn't use control+tab
   for instance, "C-c M-TAB" seems to be available.

Which option seems preferable?

Note that 565361eb6 explicitly changed C-<tab> to C-TAB:

M-TAB may be not good for Windows users.

Maybe C-c S-TAB? Though it feels not intuitive.
Another possibility may be overloading C-c TAB (org-ctrl-c-tab).

Best,
Ihor

There were a discussion of GUI-only vs. terminal key events:

I've noticed it a couple of weeks ago; just rebound
org-force-cycle-archived to (kbd "C-c C-<tab>")
