Recipe for reproducing this problem:
1. Start Emacs at a shell prompt using "emacs -Q".
2. Evaluate the following expressions in the *scratch* buffer.
The following keys evaluate as valid (as expected):
(key-valid-p "TAB")
(key-valid-p "<TAB>")
(key-valid-p "<tab>")
The following key evaluates as invalid (as expected):
(key-valid-p "tab")
3. So, the following expressions should evaluate to
‘indent-for-tab-command’:
(keymap-global-set "<tab>" 'indent-for-tab-command)
(keymap-global-set "TAB" 'indent-for-tab-command)
(keymap-global-set "<TAB>" 'indent-for-tab-command)
The first two expressions evaluate as expected, but when the third
expression is evaluated, then the following message is reported:
keymap-global-set: To bind the key TAB, use [?\t], not [TAB]
Because (key-valid-p "<TAB>") evaluates to t, that error message appears
to be invalid.
4. Also, the following expressions all evaluate to nil:
(key-valid-p "[?\t]")
(key-valid-p "[?\\t]")
(key-valid-p "?\t")
(key-valid-p "?\\t")
(key-valid-p "<?\t>")
(key-valid-p "<?\\t>")
So the error message appears to direct a user to change the key string
to an invalid key.
