The problem is that it is a new shortcut, while there is enough very well 
fitting other ones around. 'TAB' is only indent during normal editing, but for 
example when the completion list is open it has another meaning. And if this 
situation would be visually clear, it would be totally ok to use that shortcut 
IMO.

The good thing about tab is that you could easily jump back and forth even if 
you've already typed something and are in an arbitrary cursor position.
