Description
The documentation claims I can use c-i, c-h, c-m to mean CTRL+I/H/M, however if you actually map one of these three, they are treated as tab, backspace, and enter respectively. Is there a way to map CTRL + these letters that I'm not seeing?
Perhaps the aliases could be changed to tab, backspace, and enter, unless there's a legitimate reason why they have to take precedence over CTRL+letter keybindings.

Research direction
Start by locating the documentation describing c-i, c-h, and c-m, then find the keybinding parsing or alias handling that maps them to tab, backspace, and enter. Reproduce the conflict with a minimal mapping and verify that the documented CTRL-letter behavior or the aliases is corrected.
