[issue23441] rlcompleter: tab on empty prefix => insert spaces

[Martin Panter]

Martin Panter added the comment:

Main bug report: Issue 22086.

Can you say if this works when the cursor is not at the start of the entry? E.g. after an existing tab (Ctrl-V Tab on GNU readline) or space, or after an embedded newline (Ctrl-V Enter).

What happens if you press backspace after pressing tab? Do you have to backspace four times? Another options is to insert a literal tab code instead of spaces.
