Select the tab or carriage return, and SHIFT+ CTRL + R (or Search ->
Extended Replace)
You can build them into a regular expression if you need pattern
matching. The trick is to use the literal character, not \t or \n as you
might do elsewhere in a regexp.
Also remember to escape any / or any of the special characters like
?+.() etc. with a backslash if you need to match them as literal character.
