I don't understand this. Are you using 'shift left' (from the Text menu) w/o a selection to indent a line (i.e. add leading tabs) and it then inserts a tab character. But when you afterwards use 'shift right' it only removes a single space from the line and not a tab character?
It would also be great to change the behavior of multi line tabbing. I'm so used to use the tab key to intend to the right and "apple key" together with the tab key to move lines to the left. But if I do that, the lines I would like to intend, are deleted.
You can use option-tab and option-shift-tab instead. The reason I didn't put it on tab (as I know some editors do) is, that I often replace the selection with a single tab character.
You can however change the default keys to have it on tab instead (if you really want it) -- currently you'll need to manually create a key bindings file (see Help / Key Bindings).
