[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #59916] Embedded tabs are executed when code is pasted in to command window

[Rik]

Follow-up Comment #11, bug #59916 (project octave):

If we could, it would be nice to disable tab as a special character when we
know we are pasting text.

Next best would be to replace tabs with a character that won't trigger
completion.  However, it would be nice not to replace tabs within strings. 
For example, someone might want to paste text that represents tab-separated
values and then use strread, textscan, or sscanf on it.

Less good, but better than the current behavior, would be to replace all tabs
with a different character as you suggested with text.replace().
