The lack of a Tab key is a radical political statement

Haha not sure what statement that is, mind to elaborate? I'm intrigued.

Tab is on ESC with space as modifier. I rarely use Tab, indention is mapped to leader + < or > in vi*.

An eternal argument by programmers about whether to use tabs or spaces to indent code, because across editors, a Tab is a single character and may show up differently than multiple spaces. Spaces, though, take longer to enter which others see as a was off time and energy. Needing to use a modifier to access Tab is not for me. It saves so much time in bash.

Ah yea, I use whatever .editorconfig tells me to use. ;)

Not in bash a lot other than scripting. https://fishshell.com uses ctrl modifiers for completion.
