The Emacs manual describes keybindings by adding the command they
execute to the end of the first sentence, in parenthesis.

In section 25.1 Indentation Commands, `C-x <TAB>' does not follow this
pattern, so I've attached a patch that rewrites the first sentence to
mention indent-rigidly, and also removes usage of passive voice.
Thanks.

Subject: [PATCH] Mention indent-rigidly in the Emacs manual

* doc/emacs/indent.texi (Indentation Commands): Rewrite the first
sentence of C-x TAB to mention the command that it executes, and
without using passive voice.
