M-: (self-insert-command "C-q-C-I")

Note that the above "C-q-C-I" is control-q followed by a tab - not the
letters C-Q-C-I.

That's elisp for binding the tab key to self insert. There's probably some
keybinding command you can use, but those have changed in the past 20+
years I've been using emacs, and I haven't kept track of them.
