I'd simply like to have the tab key insert a tab at the beginning of a
line. I believe that there were publlished macros for doing this in
earlier VS versions, but I expected this to be 'fixed' in VS2008.

Tabs work fine for me.
Hi Mythran,
Thanks for your reply! That's what I was waiting to hear (or not!).
Just to clarify my post, here is what I refer to... If I create a new
empty project and insert the following lines, they cannot be indented
by inserting a tab in front of them:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
namespace Test
{
public partial class Form1 : Form
{
int q = 12;
int y = 12;
int z = 234;
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
IOW, any inserted statement is kept at the left side (when the
auto-indent options are turned off).
If you don't have this problem with VS2008, then there must be a
difference between our editor options. I've copied all my settings
below. Do you see any differences from yours?
Editor settings follow. Looks long but I think it's only 5 pages::
