Okay.
2. How do I insert a tab character with the GRUB editor? (Pressing <Tab> causes the editor to attempt command completion.)I guess you don't? There doesn't seem to be much about the editor's capabilities in the Grub manual.
Agreed. The editor has a note that it supports some Emacs stuff. Perhaps an Emacs user would know?
