Have you tried to turn on 'show invisibles' (including spaces)? You'll probably see that the tab-key inserts spaces, not tabs. Depending on your use (Python comes to mind) having spaces may be what you need. BBEdit will not delete a tabs worth of spaces with a single backspace keystroke. Workaround: used indent and outdent (cmd-shift-], cmd-shift-[, cmd-], cmd-[) to work with tabstops when using spaces.
