How to use vim's 'f' command (find) to find the next tab

find, search, vim

Solution

Just type f and then hit the Tab key.

Problem

I use vim's f command all the time, but I can't figure out how to find special characters (like tabs). E.g., hitting `f\t` searches for `\`. I know you can use digraphs in conjunction with the `f` command, but I don't think there is a digraph for the tab character.
