The most likely place for a problem would be the platforms/unix/sqWindows.c (or maybe sqEvents.c ?) since the interpreter and cog trees are not currently in sync. If a change to make tab get handled was put into the interpreter tree it may very well have not made it to cog yet. It’s even possible that the combination simply doesn’t get handled by the OS keyboard handler; I’ve seen siilar problems before now.
