I want to trigger Tab-completion on Vim's command line (e.g. `vim --remote-send ":ed<Tab>"` -> ":edit") but it ends up inserting a Tab character rather than completing the command (":ed^I" rather than ":edit"). Is there a way to do this?

I ran into this problem using Vimrunner's api to interact with Vim, and under the hood it's using Vim's client/server remote functionality. I tried it directly in the shell and got the same results.


maybe you can use the remote-eval feature together with the "feedkeys()" function to replace remote-send, because AFAIK this function "feedkeys()" completely simulate user key strokes without any subtle background tricks.
