How to indent ONE line in Vscode by pressing Tab button? Vscode

Question

There are some ways to do it. CMD + }, or press Tab when you select more than one line, but I want to change keybindings or install any plugin to make my Tab button work as well as Shift + Tab do.

If there are any misunderstandings I will show an example:

When I press Shift + Tab the line goes left, but this line doesn't go right when I press only Tab

have you tried to go to preferences of vs code then settings and checking if it's disabled. try answers from here too https://stackoverflow.com/questions/36251820/visual-studio-code-format-is-not-using-indent-settings — Armen Sanoyan, Dec 14 '20 at 11:32

Go to Keyboard Shortcuts
search for indent line
right-click on Indent Line entry, chose Add Keybinding...
in the popup box asking for a keybinding, hit Tab and Enter to accept

You'll get a custom keybinding added to the end of your keybindings.json that looks like this:

 {
    "key": "tab",
    "command": "editor.action.indentLines",
    "when": "editorTextFocus && !editorReadonly"
 }

You may want to change that "when" clause to

"when": "editorHasSelection && editorTextFocus && !editorReadonly"

if you want it to work only when there is a selection in the line - otherwise you'll never be able to add a Tab anywhere but the beginning of a line.
