Can't send tab character as input

[dradtke]

In usql I am unable to execute a simple query like this (Oracle in this example):

select 'hello   world' from dual;

That is because the space between hello and world is a tab character, and usql overrides the tab key to provide completion. This also fails when pasting from the clipboard or sending it from another process, i.e. Kitty:

$ kitten @ send-text --match=recent:1 "select 'hello\tworld' from dual;"
# select 'helloworld' from dual;

This is annoying because I have some string fields that contain a tab character, and this makes it impossible to query against those fields.

Is it possible to disable completion, permanently or temporarily, to allow tab characters to be used as input? Or alternatively, find a way to provide completion results only when the Tab key is pressed, and not when \t is received?
