Create a snippet with a tab character and set its key equivalent to the 
tab key, then you get one tab character inserted (except when enabling 
soft tabs, here TextMate converts tabs in snippets to the proper amount 
of spaces).

If you only want this override to be active for replacements then set 
the scope selector to `dyn.selection`.

You can also scope it to `L:dyn.caret.begin` so that it only works when 
at the beginning of a line. The `L:` prefix here is because we want to 
match the scope to the left of the caret.
