How to insert tab in command line?
When I press tab, it will be in command completion mode, and tab will be
converted to some files or commands.
But I do not want to disable command completion mode, I just want to insert
tab occasionally.

Thanks

Hi!

Normally you can use escape codes, try usin "\t". Any way if you could
provide with further info we will be able to help better.

Best.

I want to replace one file's tab with 4 spaces. I use MKS sed command:
c:\> sed 's/\t/ /g' a.txt
But \t in sed match character 't' instead of tab.
If I edit a bat file
sed 's/tab key/ /g' a.txt
It works. It would be convenient if I insert tab directly in command line.
