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).
