Of course, ordinary self-inserting characters _should_ self-insert in

S-TAB also has its regular meaning, but the recently added M-TAB does
not, because it has another (completion related) meaning in editable
fields.


I think this is mostly a documentation problem.  `C-h m' on a customization
buffer suggests using `n' and `p' instead of better `TAB' and `S-TAB':

  Move to next button or editable field.     n
  Move to previous button or editable field. p
  Complete content of editable text field.   M-TAB

Would M-n and M-p be better?

Adding `\\<widget-keymap>\' before first two lines above in the docstring
of `custom-mode' to force displaying keybindings from `widget-keymap', the
output of `C-h m' is still not good:

  Move to next button or editable field.     TAB
  Move to previous button or editable field. M-TAB
  Complete content of editable text field.   M-TAB

Note duplicate `M-TAB' for different contexts.

Would that go away if M-n and M-p were in front of (i.e. added later
than) TAB and M-TAB in widget-keymap?
