I installed the Unix/Linux/Cygwin Karaf 2.3.3 distro on my Win 7 box. I opened up a Cygwin "rxvt" window, changed to the karaf installation, and then ran "bin/karaf" in my Cygwin bash window.
Along with the logo, this prints the following: -------------- Hit '<tab>' for a list of available commands and '[cmd] --help' for help on a specific command. Hit '<ctrl-d>' or type 'osgi:shutdown' or 'logout' to shutdown Karaf. karaf@root> -------------- At this point, pressing "<tab>" inserts a tab character at the Karaf prompt and does nothing else. In fact, it appears to me that nothing is listening for input at all at this point.
