RE: Tab within comments in C/C++ mode

[Bingham, Jay]

In many modes the tab key is not assigned to self insert, instead it invokes a 
function which attempts to do formatting that is consistent with the mode.  In 
these modes a literal tab can be inserted into the buffer with M-i or C-q TAB.

Yes, is would be nice if the folks who wrote the mode had written it so that 
within a comment TAB just inserted a tab character, but they did not.

Subject:        Tab within comments in C/C++ mode

I am looking for a way to allow the tab key while inside comments in C and
C++ mode. Currently, the mode will not allow a tab (let alone multiple
tabs) to be placed while in a comment. It seems to insist on formatting
the contents of the comment. Not really formatting per se, mainly just
disallowing any format I want to put in there.

Thanks for any help.
