What do you mean to indent a region? Let emacs indent it or insert a
tab in the beginning of each selected line ?

In the first case, this should get you started:

(defun indent-line-or-region ()
  "indent line or region"
  (interactive)
  (if mark-active   ;; there is a region selected
      (indent-region)
      (indent-according-to-mode))) ;; indent line

Just bind it to tab.

Hope i could help you,
