Actual behavior

So, when I have the mini.basics plugin turned on, i get this issue Tab producing ^I on terminal. Then when i switch it off, things work fine on my terminal

Thanks for the issue!

Indeed, I can reproduce this. It is due to setting 'list' option while tab is not present in 'listchars'. Apparently, this is a documented behavior: "When "tab:" is omitted, a tab is shown as ^I." (from :h listchars).

I didn't notice it myself because I use both 'expandtab' and manually add tab:>.

This should now be fixed on latest main.
