-  To enter the same regexp interactively, you would type @key{TAB} to
-enter a tab, and @kbd{C-j} to enter a newline.  (When typed
-interactively, @kbd{C-j} should be preceded by a @kbd{C-q}, to prevent
-Emacs from running the command bound to a newline.)  You would also type
-single backslashes as themselves, instead of doubling them for Lisp
