* There's something strange with the way tab works in emacs. In cc mode, I write a few letter then press and nothing happens! I'm not allowed to put tabs anywhere on the file! I also tried editing an empty file and I had no means of getting tab work!!! I just want my tabs back!
It's not strange at all if you know what function the TAB key is bound to. In cc-mode, it is c-indent-command, and in lisp-mode (the scratch buffer's mode) it is lisp-indent-line. (C-h k TAB tells you this - very useful!)
What you want is probably tab-to-tab-stop, which is usually bound to M-i. Regards, Mathias
