No. Nothing happens.

In an [R] buffer it is:

TAB (translated from <tab>) runs the command ess-indent-command, which
is an interactive compiled Lisp function in `ess-mode.el'.

It is bound to TAB, <menu-bar> <ESS> <ESS Edit> <Indent line>.

(ess-indent-command &optional WHOLE-EXP)

Indent current line as ESS code, or in some cases insert a tab character.
If `ess-tab-always-indent' is non-nil (the default), always indent
current line.  Otherwise, indent the current line only if point is at
the left margin or in the line's indentation; otherwise insert a tab.
A numeric argument, regardless of its value, means indent rigidly all
the lines of the expression starting after point so that this line
becomes properly indented.  The relative indentation among the lines
of the expression are preserved.

And in an inferior *R* buffer it is

TAB (translated from <tab>) runs the command comint-dynamic-complete,
which is an interactive compiled Lisp function.

It is bound to TAB, <menu-bar> <completion> <complete>.

(comint-dynamic-complete)

Dynamically perform completion at point.
Calls the functions in `comint-dynamic-complete-functions' to perform
completion until a function returns non-nil, at which point completion is
assumed to have occurred.

Maybe I have to set something here to nil?

yasnippet 0.6.1

Thanks again,
Fernando.
