[In a Help buffer]: C-h k S- (translated from ) runs the command backward-button, which is an interactive compiled Lisp function in `button.el'. It is bound to , M-TAB, . (backward-button n &optional wrap display-message) Move to the nth previous button, or nth next button if n is negative. If n is 0, move to the start of any button at point. If wrap is non-nil, moving past either end of the buffer continues from the other end. If display-message is non-nil, the button's help-echo string is displayed. Any button with a non-nil `skip' property is skipped over. Returns the button found. ------------=_1228629603-31544-1 Content-Type: message/rfc822 Content-Disposition: inline Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit >From xah@xahlee.org Sat Dec 6 16:07:28 2008 X-Spam-Checker-Version: SpamAssassin 3.2.3-bugs.debian.org_2005_01_02 (2007-08-08) on rzlab.ucr.edu X-Spam-Level: X-Spam-Status: No, score=-7.4 required=4.0 tests=AWL,BAYES_00, RCVD_IN_DNSWL_MED autolearn=ham version=3.2.3-bugs.debian.org_2005_01_02 Received: (at submit) by emacsbugs.donarmstrong.com; 7 Dec 2008 00:07:28 +0000 Received: from lists.gnu.org (lists.gnu.org [199.232.76.165]) by rzlab.ucr.edu (8.13.8/8.13.8/Debian-3) with ESMTP id mB707Pxq008367 for ; Sat, 6 Dec 2008 16:07:26 -0800 Received: from mailman by lists.gnu.org with tmda-scanned (Exim 4.43) id 1L97BF-0006aU-9E for bug-gnu-emacs@gnu.org; Sat, 06 Dec 2008 19:07:25 -0500 Received: from exim by lists.gnu.org with spam-scanned (Exim 4.43) id 1L97BE-0006ZW-Qs for bug-gnu-emacs@gnu.org; Sat, 06 Dec 2008 19:07:24 -0500 Received: from [199.232.76.173] (port=40852 helo=monty-python.gnu.org) by lists.gnu.org with esmtp (Exim 4.43) id 1L97BE-0006Y9-Jo for bug-gnu-emacs@gnu.org; Sat, 06 Dec 2008 19:07:24 -0500 Received: from mout.perfora.net ([74.208.4.194]:56035) by monty-python.gnu.org with esmtp (Exim 4.60) (envelope-from ) id 1L97BD-0002UB-9U for bug-gnu-emacs@gnu.org; Sat, 06 Dec 2008 19:07:23 -0500 Received: from [192.168.1.2] (c-24-6-185-159.hsd1.ca.comcast.net [24.6.185.159]) by mrelay.perfora.net (node=mrus0) with ESMTP (Nemesis) id 0MKp8S-1L97BB39p9-0006Is; Sat, 06 Dec 2008 19:07:23 -0500 Mime-Version: 1.0 (Apple Message framework v753.1) Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Message-Id: <2263B280-BDAB-4AD5-B29C-2AA11E0AE86E@xahlee.org> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8; delsp=yes; format=flowed To: bug-gnu-emacs@gnu.org From: xah lee Subject: suggestion: describe-function with shift-tab to jump back prev link Date: Sat, 6 Dec 2008 16:07:21 -0800 X-Mailer: Apple Mail (2.753.1) X-Provags-ID: V01U2FsdGVkX1/LLQL+Ov0FAJ3jigYoXgW1+d1Vla57Ij/uhxe 7A/KoOXXL0ACPDO6AUYYuVFaabEysxdCnm/VF4wuKcPjNU4/KP mLM2wa1pI+jvVuef8mY8A== X-detected-operating-system: by monty-python.gnu.org: Genre and OS details not recognized.

Do you run it on a terminal that does not distinguish tab from shift-tab? Sven
