You could do what I do - bind Ctrl-Tab to insert an ASCII <tab>:
(global-set-key [C-tab] (lambda () (interactive) (insert-char 9 1)))
- Will
I don't want to globally set anything. I like the way the TAB key works
in C and Lisp modes. I just want to change its behavior in TEXT and
FUNDAMENTAL modes.
Did you actually try that? I think mode-specific key bindings always
override global bindings, so the above will not affect C mode. for
example.
But if you want to bind TAB in Text mode, then try the below:
(define-key text-mode-map "\C-i" 'self-insert-command)
You will need to do this in a text-mode-hook.
