Check for a "Tab moves focus" button in the lower right corner of the window. If it's present, clicking it should switch back to the default indentation behaviour.

Context: By default, pressing tab should insert a tab character (or, in the Rich Text Editor, 8 spaces). It's possible to turn this off using view > "tab moves focus" or pressing ctrl-m. The "ctrl-m" key was selected to match the shortcut for the same function in VSCode and the CodeMirror default shortcuts. See also: Understanding Success Criterion 2.1.2: No Keyboard Trap | WAI | W3C.
