If I'm not wrong, in a later interpreter versions, when an enter key was
pressed after writing something requiring some indentated statement(s)...
like in:

>>> for i in range (0,3):

the system used to suggest "one tab" placing the cursor automatically after.

I don't know why this feature doesn't remain yet... or maybe I don't know
how activate this...
