Currently the tab key, when not completing, inserts a hard tab in the qt console. That makes it harder to paste that code later into editors, and also causes other issues as discussed in #513.

I'm tagging this as bug and not enhancement b/c tab-as-4-spaces is pretty much a universal python standard at this point, so the fact that we don't quite follow it in this context, should be seen as a bug.
