If I select a block of text in BBEdit, and press Tab, it indents it

Theres an option in preferences to dictate whether this happens I
think, and obviously its enabled.
But if I select a single line of text, and hit Tab, it replaces the
whole line with a Tab character.
Is there a way to work around this, as its very inconsistent since Ive
already told BBEdit Id like Tab to indent text, not replace the
selection
When you select a single line, be sure to select the end-of-line
character (return, linefeed, etc). Then when you press Tab
(assuming the setting you mentioned above), the line will indent
the way a block does. Otherwise, the selected portion of the
line will be replaced by the tab, as expected.
One way I make it easy to select the end-of-line character is to
enable Preferences -> Editing: General -> Allow single-click
line selection.
