Full log
Message #5 received at submit <at> debbugs.gnu.org (full text, mbox):
This is a request to change one of the default key bindings in
bibtex mode. TAB is bound to bibtex-find-text. This causes an
error when pasting text containing a tab character into a
terminal-based emacs. Tab characters are often used for
formating in bibtex files, in particular in the output of the
conversion utility bibutils.
I suspect that bibtex-find-text is rarely used, since it does
almost the same thing as C-e in most cases. I would suggest
having tab self-insert, and leaving bibtex-find-text without
a key, or possibly finding a new key combination for bibtex-find-text.
