But it already is there:

jed_faq.txt: 

13. The TAB key is broken--- it does not insert TABs!

refers to 

3. What is C mode?

where the indent_line function is explained!

The other way to find out is to use Help>Show_Key to find the function bound
to the key and Help>Describe_Function to see what it does...

(And if you are a lucky possessor of my extended hyperlinked help mode from
                          http://jedmodes.sf.net/
 the second step can be replaced by simply pressing Enter on the result of
 the first help request :-)
