Huh? I find it really convenient that I can just hit TAB (my binding
for indent-relative) at the beginning of a line to increase its
indentation.

I use it for existing lines, too.

That might be a misconfiguration on your part. (Not that I blame you;
the subject is complex.) indent-relative looks at tab-stop-list and
configuring tab-width is not going to have the effect you might
expect. (tab-width refers to how tab characters in the text are
displayed, but the TAB key does not always insert tab characters.)
