This is exactly what you have to do (right now). The problem is that
the key-bindings are in different keymaps. And it is important that
some keys may be bound in different keymaps, e.g., "i" is bound to
'evil-insert in evil-normal-state-map and to
'evil-inner-text-objects-map in evil-operator-state-map.

Perhaps another function which binds some keysequence in one map and
removes all active bindings in other maps may be convenient, something
like

(evil-remap evil-motion-state-map "c" 'backward-char 
	    :remove evil-normal-state-map)

or the other way around

(evil-remap evil-motion-state-map "i" 'what-ever
	    :keep evil-operator-state-map)

I have no idea what the best solution is.
