Actually what would probably work is setting tab as a "tab trigger". Then the command will only be triggered if it is preceded by a tab (and will swallow that tab).
Ok, here are some more details on it. I've actually attached the two commands that would do this, so you can use those as they are, or you can reproduce them as follows. Set the tab setting to soft tabs: 4. Create a new command, with tab trigger set to four spaces, and with command text:
echo -n " "
So that's echo -n followed by a tab in quotes. Set the input to none, and the output to Insert As Text.
Create a second command, with tab trigger a tab character (you would need to copy and paste the character in there to get it there), input none and output insert as text, and with command text:
echo -n " "
So in the quotes there are now a tab followed by four spaces.
This should give you the desired behavior without compromising the tab triggers. Just make sure you set the above two commands to use a tab trigger, not a key equivalent.
