Hey Néstor,
If you have Prefs-->Editor_Defaults-->Auto_Indent [ON] then BBEdit matches the
current indent level when [Return] is pressed.
It's not hard to add a tab to that to get to the next level of indention.

I hate all that and have it turned off, except for tab change indent of the
selection.
I find that quite useful from time to time.

If you want it make a formal feature request, or the idea will likely never be
recorded where it counts.
But – you can have this now if you're willing to learn how to script it.
