Strange, when I add this to ~/.emacs, the tab does not work at all, as soon as I press it, the line gets left aligned, that is all. Probably my mistake, new to emacs. Pressing tab on a left aligned text does nothing at all.

To get a further indentation of 4 spaces works here when using M+i as mentioned in this answer. Probably my tab tests were dominated by the automatic alignments of emacs for my Python file, also explained in that answer.
