I do not understand how this works. I have looked in `translation-key-map' and in 'function-key-map' but I can not find any translation of S-Tab there. Where is the translation done?

See read_key_sequence in keyboard.c:

     /* If KEY is not defined in any of the keymaps,
         and cannot be part of a function key or translation,
         and is a shifted function key,
         use the corresponding unshifted function key instead.  */
Thanks. If Tab is handled as a function key here is it then not just a simple matter of binding S-Tab for the links in the help buffer?

BTW I can not find the information above in the elisp manual. Is it there or just in the source code? I remember it has been confusing sometimes that the shifted function keys are bound to the unshifted ones.
