vim indent

filetype plugin indent on in .vimrc works to set different indent
settings for different types of files,
but I want to actually press the <tab> key to indent. as it is right
now vim automatically inserts indents without
pressing the <tab> key. how can I use <tab> to manually insert tabs
instead of vim automatically inserting them
for me?
