Subject: bug#6616: S-TAB is mismapped in the *Help* buffer
Date: Sun, 11 Jul 2010 23:20:22 -0700

 The manual, (info "(emacs) Help Mode"), says "S-TAB"
moves the point to the previous cross reference when in
the *Help* buffer.  But, trying from a default emacs
shows "S-TAB" is translated to "C-y":

    emacs -Q
      ...                 ; Get to a *Help* buffer
    C-h k S-TAB

    C-y (translated from <S-tab>) runs the command yank, which is an
    interactive compiled Lisp function in `simple.el'.

My guess is that the right place to change this is
in the `button-buffer-map'.  This way the change will
propagate to other modes that use button-buffer-map as
a parent keymap, including:

    apropos.el          ; apropos-mode-map
    emacs-lisp/debug.el ; debugger-mode-map
    help-mode.el        ; help-mode-map (this bug)
    man.el              ; Man-mode-map
    progmodes/etags.el  ; select-tags-table-mode-map
    startup.el          ; splash-screen-keymap
