the tab key deletes selected words instead of indenting them

How can I stop the tab key from deleting selected words when I want to indent
the selection(s)? I erroneously clicked on something in a shortcut menu that
started the tab key doing this (deletion) and now I can't find that option
again.
 
Press the Insert key once.
