This is also annoying when using ssh over a far-away network connection.

That wouldn't work very well.

Sometimes you have a 8-character gap to cross but you can't tell if it 
is made of spaces or a single tab until you actually move to it.

Maybe pipelining 2 or 3 keypresses could be attempted, and you must be 
ready to undo as many such moves if the cursor starts diverging.
