Hi all,
I have a need to insert literal tab characters into my org-mode files
frequently. I would like to bind a key to insert literal tabs (ASCII 9). I
thought Control-TAB would be a good option. So I inserted the following
lines into my .emacs file. It works when in normal emacs, but not in
org-mode. Is there a way to get this to work in org-mode? If this is a bad
key combination for org-mode, I'm ok switching to another key combo.
(defun my-insert-tab-char ()
"Insert a tab char. (ASCII 9, \t)"
(interactive)
(insert "\t"))
(global-set-key (kbd "C-<tab>") 'my-insert-tab-char)
Thanks!
Josh

What about using quoted-insert? C-q TAB

Well, C-TAB is already bound in Org (to
`org-force-cycle-archived`), but if you have no use for that
command, you can of course rebind it. Since `global-set-key`
creates global bindings, which are shadowed by local bindings,
your binding has no effect in Org buffers. You need to bind C-TAB
in `org-mode-map`:
(define-key org-mode-map (kbd "C-<tab>") #'my-insert-tab-char)
