`org-mode-map` binds `[tab]` which is unnecessary and harmful, since it
takes precendence over bindings of TAB even in keymaps with higher
precedence.

Emacs  : GNU Emacs 27.1 (build 1, x86_64-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version
3.24.5, cairo version 1.16.0)
 of 2021-02-09, modified by Debian
Package: Org mode version 9.4.6 (9.4.6-gab9f2a @
/home/user/.config/emacs/elpa/org-9.4.6/)

----

I've observed this problem with my GNU ELPA package Corfu, which
installs a keymap with higher precedence than org-mode. In order to
override Org, it also has to bind [tab], which is undesired.

Thou shalt not have precedence over Org mode!

Fixed.

Thank you!

With Emacs compiled from master, after Nicolas Goaziou's fix to remove the <tab> binding, my tab key was no longer bound to org-cycle, but instead to outline-cycle from outline.el

If I comment out line 185 in outline.el then TAB will bind to org-cycle.

Does outline.el need to be fixed too?

——snippet from outline.el
(defvar outline-mode-cycle-map
 (let ((map (make-sparse-keymap)))
   (let ((tab-binding `(menu-item
                        "" outline-cycle
                        ;; Only takes effect if point is on a heading.
                        :filter ,(lambda (cmd)
                                   (when (outline-on-heading-p) cmd)))))
     (define-key map [tab]       tab-binding)
     (define-key map (kbd "TAB") tab-binding)
     (define-key map (kbd "<backtab>") #'outline-cycle-buffer))
   map)
 "Keymap used by `outline-mode-map' and `outline-minor-mode-cycle'.")


I don’t see outline as a minor mode listed when I use C-h m while in an org file expecting org-cycle.

Very much so, indeed, thanks.
I just pushed that change to `master`.
