ctrl-i is the <tab> key, and is a normal thing to type in a text
string.  Remember that ctrl-a through ctrl-z are all normal ASCII
single-byte characters, and have a long history of specific use.

We should not re-invent key mappings, since so many people are
used to a particular set of mappings.  I think it safer to have
no default at all, and require the user to explicitly choose a
hotkey if he wants one.
