 In Insert mode: Use the appropriate number of spaces to insert a
 <Tab>. Spaces are used in indents with the '>' and '<' commands and
 when 'autoindent' is on. To insert a real tab when 'expandtab' is
 on, use CTRL-V<Tab>. See also :retab and ins-expandtab.

tabstop: number of spaces a tab visually counts for. Defaults to 8. It does not affect how many spaces/tabs will be inserted directly.
