M-TAB

[Ken Evans]

This bug report will be sent to the Free Software Foundation,
 not to your local site managers!!
Please write in English, because the Emacs maintainers do not have
translators to read other languages for them.

In GNU Emacs 20.3.1 (sparc-sun-solaris2.6, Motif)
 of Thu May  6 1999 on phoebus
configured using `configure  --prefix=/opt/local 
--x-includes=/usr/openwin/include --x-libraries=/usr/openwin/lib 
--with-x-toolkit=motif'

Please describe exactly what actions triggered the bug
and the precise symptoms of the bug:

    This is probably not a true bug, but I would like to define M-TAB
to be 'switch-to-buffer instead of the default 'lisp-complete-symbol.
(I work on both MS Windows and UNIX and I keep typing Alt-TAB by habit
when I want C-x-b.)  The following in .emacs don't appear to work:

(define-key esc-map "\t" 'switch-to-buffer)
(global-set-key "\M-\t" 'switch-to-buffer)
(global-set-key [?\M-\t] 'switch-to-buffer)
(global-set-key [(alt tab)] 'switch-to-buffer)
(global-set-key [(alt TAB)] 'switch-to-buffer)

                Thanks,

                -Ken
