I'm sending keys from a shell to a running Vim instance using the 
"--remote-send" option. I want to trigger Tab-completion on Vim's command line 
(e.g. `vim --remote-send ":ed<Tab>"` -> ":edit") but it ends up inserting a Tab 
character rather than completing the command (":ed^I" rather than ":edit"). Is 
there a way to do this?

The reason I'm doing this in the first place is I'm using Vimrunner 
(https://github.com/AndrewRadev/vimrunner) to write integration tests for a Vim 
plugin I'm building. I ran into this problem using Vimrunner's api to interact 
with Vim, and under the hood it's using Vim's client/server remote 
functionality. I tried it directly in the shell and got the same results.
