Well, in any programming mode, `<M-tab>' runs `completion-at-point' or `complete-symbol' which are the main completion functions in emacs. (Actually, that's bound to `C-M-i' but that translates to `<M-tab>' which is much easier to type.) >> You have 3 options: >> >> a) Use `ESC TAB' instead of `M-TAB'. > > That would work.

That's true, but OTOH I favor a strict separation of keys, e.g., Control and Meta are reserved for emacs, Super is reserved for the X11 window manager.
