company-select-next won't bind to <tab>

[calve]

Hi !

From my point of view, it looks that company-select-next doesn't let itself bound to

Step to reproduce :
add "(global-set-key (kbd "") 'company-select-next)" to .emacs
open a file which as completion working.
try "M-x company-select-next" several times to check the expected behaviour
try to cycle throught completion using the tabulation key

Nothing appened

Am I missing something ? company-complete-common work fines using
I hope to be clear. Please let me know if one needs extra informations

Hello,

You cannot override a minor mode map using a global binding. You'll have to change the keymap the mode uses. Also, for historical reasons, you'll need to rebind both [tab] and (kbd "TAB"), the former for the graphical mode, and the latter for the terminal, if you use Emacs in that mode.

The result:

(eval-after-load 'company
  '(progn
     (define-key company-active-map (kbd "TAB") 'company-select-next)
     (define-key company-active-map [tab] 'company-select-next)))

Also, I'm guessing, you'll want to set company-selection-wrap-around to t.

Everything work as expected by adding your lines.
