From: Reuben Thomas <rrt <at> sc3d.org> To: 8492 <at> debbugs.gnu.org Subject: bug#8492: 23.3; Time to use a different binding for completion? Date: Wed, 13 Apr 2011 18:26:15 +0100
Emacs binds various completion functions to M-Tab, which is already used by many window managers, including Compiz and Metacity, i.e. the WMs one is likely to use on a modern GNU system, for switching between open windows. Is it therefore time to admit defeat and find an alternative binding for completion functions, even if it’s an extra binding rather than simply a different one?

This will not be inserted in the buffer but completion and XHTML validation will assume it is there so both error checking and completion will work.
