Correct, TAB, M-<up>, M-<down> do not execute any functionality
Consider the following function. Call the function with "M-x change-cursor".
TAB produces "[Complete, but not unique]"; whilst "M-down" and "M-up" result
in [M-down is undefined] and [M-up is undefined].
(defun change-cursor (form)
"Modify the cursor form."
(interactive
(list
(let ( (cseq '("bar" "hbar" "hollow" "box")) )
(completing-read " Cursor: " cseq nil t "box"))))
(pcase form
("bar"
(set-default 'cursor-type 'bar)
("hbar"
(set-default 'cursor-type 'hbar)
("hollow"
(set-default 'cursor-type 'hollow)
("box"
(set-default 'cursor-type 'box))) )
