How to type "tab" character in terminal?
Hi,
In the terminal, I would like to be able to simply type a literal "tab" character. I know, by default, the tab key is used for auto-completion based on file system (I would like to keep it that way).
I tried several things, nothing seems to work for me:
- Copy-paste an existing tab character within the terminal
- Add keyboard shortcut in the Terminal preferences > Settings > Keyboard (/011)
- Insert 'LINE TABULATION' character from the Terminal > Edit > Special Characters... window
Hopefully, someone has done this before?
