I do not know the reason for dropping M-TAB, but defining S-TAB to `Info-prev-reference' was made to make it easier for users. Going backwards to previous link with S-TAB is what is found in those GUI browsers I have used.BTW, info.el dropped M-TAB in favor of S-TAB. Unfortunately, this makes `Info-prev-reference' inaccessible on ttys where S-TAB is not available. I think info.el, help.el and wid-edit.el should bind both S-TAB and M-TAB to the same commands: S-TAB for window environments, and M-TAB for ttys. Could someone please look at the discussion that led to defining S-TAB in info.el, and see what the motives were?
S-TAB is bound in a similar manner in help and custom buffers too.I see no reason not to bind M-TAB too in info buffers if that is desirable. In that case I believe it should be done in help and custom buffers also.
