Paste code containing tabs into scala repl

I am using 

:paste

before copying in a scala code snippet that apparently contains tabs. But even so the following occurs:

scala> :paste
// Entering paste mode (ctrl-D to finish)

type Moves = Seq[Board]
val EmptyMoves = Seq[Board]()

def allMoves() = {
Display all 413 possibilities? (y or n)
e = (‘x’,’o’).map{ case xo =>
Display all 413 possibilities? (y or n)
dex
Display all 413 possibilities? (y or n)
t, ix % 3) }

So then is there any way to be able to put code with tabs into the repl?

You'll need this rather trivial fix to the REPL.

Alternatively, you can implement the fix and supply -Dscala.repl.reader=my.Reader.

The other answer suggests finding ways to hijack the reader:

scala> :power
Power mode enabled. :phase is at typer.
import scala.tools.nsc._, intp.global._, definitions._
Try :help or completions for vals._ and power._

scala> import scala.tools.nsc.interpreter._, java.io._
import scala.tools.nsc.interpreter._
import java.io._

scala> def f(code: String) = repl.savingReader {
     | repl.in = new SimpleReader(new BufferedReader(new StringReader(code)), new PrintWriter(scala.Console.out), false)
     | repl.loop() }
f: (code: String)$r.repl.LineResults.LineResult

scala> f("val x = 42. toInt")    // embedded tab
x: Int = 42
res5: $r.repl.LineResults.LineResult = EOF

Or foregoing editing:

$ scala -Xnojline
Welcome to Scala 2.11.8 (Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM, Java 1.8.0_60).
Type in expressions for evaluation. Or try :help.

scala> 

scala> val x = 42.  toInt
x: Int = 42

Or foregoing completion:

x: Int = 42

You can paste your code in a file and then do the following command in your REPL:

 scala> :load YourFile.scala

NB: the file should not have package declarations or else the loading will fail.
