Description
Highlighting multiple lines and then hitting tab to indent does not work. Using shift-tab to undent (de-indent?) - works as expected.
VSCode Version: 1.17.2
OS Version: mac OS sierra - 10.12.6
Steps to Reproduce:
highlight multiple lines
click tab - no effect
if pre-indented - shift-tab works as expected
Extensions:
vscodevim - 0.10.2
donjayamanne.python 0.7.0
esbenp.prettier-vscode 0.24.0
PeterJausovec.vscode-docker 0.0.20
ms-vscode.azure-account 0.1.3
Reproduces without extensions: No
Works as expected without the extensions...
Buggy capture - imagine tab being hit where nothing happens...

Research direction
No source file or test is named. Start by reproducing the multi-line selection and Tab behavior with the listed extension setup, then compare it with the no-extension case and inspect the relevant keybinding or indentation handling. Done means Tab indents selected lines while Shift-Tab continues to de-indent them.
