Compare the behavior of the two keys. The user can neither assign nor
reassign to TAB; more precisely, the user is presented with limited options
in "Buffer Options" and the related "Global Options" pane. If the behavior
is intended, that's a feature, not a bug. In contrast, C+i is default
assigned but cannot be reassigned, nor can it be made part of a multi-key
sequence. In addition, the default assignment cannot be restored without
hacking a properties file. Assignable keys should have no behavior if they
are not assigned. Assignable keys should be capable of reassignment. C+i
fails on both; it starts out assigned but becomes hard-coded once the user
makes a change. That's a bug, not a feature.
