This is tricky. There are two aspects to tabs:
* How a tab character is displayed.
This is controlled by the variable tab-width. Usually though, the only
way you can insert a tab character is with C-q TAB or C-q C-i though.
By default Emacs binds TAB to a command.
* What pressing tab inserts.
If a mode doesn't have an indentation convention then this is defined by
tab-stops-list and tab-to-tab-stop. If the mode does have an
indentation convention then that takes over and it's defined by a mode
specific variable.
