The tab key is special only in those shells that consider it special.
From within an _application_, like vim, you get the behaviour for that
application. In the case of vim, you either get n space (ASCII 0x20)
chars, or an ASCII tab.
This is generally considered the expected results.
Special behaviour like tab-completion in some arbitrary shell should not
affect applications that are run from that shell.
I'm trying to figure out what items you'd like completed from within
vim, but for the life of me, I can't come up with anything a.)
reasonable or, b.) generic across the many users of vim.
