BUG REPORT

Environment:

• VSCode Version: 1.13.1
• VsCodeVim Version: v0.9.0
• OS: Windows 10

What happened:
i
<tab>
ESC
.
Pressing i then <tab> inserts a tab as expected.
After pressing ., the cursor moves left one space.

What did you expect to happen:
After pressing . I expected the operation to be repeated, i.e. another tab to be inserted.

How to reproduce it:
i
<tab>
ESC
.

NOTE: This bug is when trying to insert <tab>. When try to insert <space> or something else, e.g. foo, VSCodeVim works as expected.

This is a duplicate of this issue: #612

I'm going to close in favor of that issue.

Thanks!
