TAB?!
Well, maybe this is too obvious, but you've tried CTRL/J right?
Unless this is a _very_ strange terminal, ctrl-J is linefeed. Tab would
be ctrl-I. Most terminals will send Esc if you type ctrl-[, which
is useful on some
VT series units without a real escape key...
Yeah, ^[ comes in handy, since on current PC keyboards the real Esc key is
a long way from the home keys. I wish there were a similar easy way to get
the \ character, since it seems no two keyboards have that in the same place.
