I don't have any vt100's lying about anymore, but some terminals that don't
let special function keys repeat - return, tab, lf and so on will let a
normal control/x sequence repeat.  In this case just remember that tab is
really a control/i in disguise and so on.

I don't remember if vt100's act like this...  (no corrections please!)
