In X11 the <tab> key is, by default, mapped to the TAB character
(ASCII 9). This is done in function-key-map, so to map <tab> and C-i
to different keys, the sensible ting would be to remove the <tab>
translation from function-key-map, then rebind it to whatever you
wish. Note, however, that since function-key-map is a global map,
applied before any other key processing, this will have side effects
in /every/ mode, not just where you wanted separate definitions. You
could circumvent this in various hackish ways, I suppose, like binding
<tab> in the global keymap to a function that looks up C-i in the
current keymaps and executes the result. But I don't know enough
about event handling in emacs to tell you what the gotchas of such an
approach might be. Maybe you could bind <tab> to a macro that runs
C-i? Might be worth a try.
