Even without the Python add-on this should work. It shifts the text based on the 'shiftwidth' setting. I vaguely remember using some other editors (one or more of Nedit, Gedit, Kate, Notepad++, Eclipse) that use, or can be configured to use, the tab key to indent selected text rather than replacing it with a tab character.
