So I put back the mapping in org-key.el to map TAB instead of <tab> in my local
copy and instead commented out line 185 in outline.el to get TAB to map to
org-cycle.
——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'.")
Does that sound like the right thing to do? If so then I could submit it to the
Emacs dev list.
I don’t see outline as a minor mode listed when I use C-h m while in an org
file expecting org-cycle.
