RStudio tab functionality working differently

On my desktop computer, tab quickly moves a comment or command across over 4 spaces in rapid succession. On my laptop, tab brings up a message that says "(No matches)", then when I hit tab again, it moves 4 spaces, then another message, then another 4 spaces. I cannot quickly move text to the right. I imagine this is a setting I can turn on and off but I cannot figure it out. enter image description here

I am using 0.99.903

Odds are you need to tweak two settings:

  • Insert spaces for tab
  • Use tab for multiline autocompletions

You can find each in the Global Options pane:
