In many modes the tab key is not assigned to self insert, instead it invokes a
function which attempts to do formatting that is consistent with the mode. In
these modes a literal tab can be inserted into the buffer with M-i or C-q TAB.
Yes, is would be nice if the folks who wrote the mode had written it so that
within a comment TAB just inserted a tab character, but they did not.

Subject: Tab within comments in C/C++ mode
I am looking for a way to allow the tab key while inside comments in C and
C++ mode. Currently, the mode will not allow a tab (let alone multiple
tabs) to be placed while in a comment. It seems to insist on formatting
the contents of the comment. Not really formatting per se, mainly just
disallowing any format I want to put in there.
Thanks for any help.
- Chris
