Should be fixed in b6fd78a3

Btw: The issue with the TAB is the following. In terminal C-i and TAB
are indistinguishable, i.e., both generate exactly the same key-code
(number 8 IIRC) (in X they generate different key-codes). Unless you
really need the usual Vim C-i command you can set `evil-want-C-i-jump'
to nil (before loading evil or using the customization) which prevents
the corresponding binding to be generated at all. Of course, just
undefining that particular binding work as well and is perhaps more
robust ;)
