Hi List,
I have a strange problem with org-global-cycle (S-TAB) in console
sessions. It mainly doesn't do anything, and C-h k shows "M-TAB is bound
to pcomplete", which it actually is, but I'm hitting S-TAB not M-TAB.
Otherwise, the "S" (shift) key work, I can type uppercase and all. Is
that a hardware (keyboard) problem, or did anybody experience similar
symptoms?

cheers,
Thorsten

Thorsten,
This sounds pretty weird, because in console sessions, due to the
limitations of keyboard escape sequences, there is no way to type
shift-tab (what emacs calls <backtab>). The only way to do
org-global-cycle (or something like it) on console with the default
bindings is to use C-u TAB (startup visibility), C-u C-u TAB (CONTENTS),
C-u C-u C-u TAB (everything).

But then everything is fine with my setup, I just did not know about
this limitation of the console (I only recently started working on the
console after discovering tmux).
Thanks for the help.

You're welcome. N.B. that there are a few other bindings that won't
work, due to these console limitations. (info "(org) TTY keys") offers
some idea what to expect from org-mode on the console and some
alternative bindings that are already set up by default.
