Right.  In Japanese, the three options in the example are translated like 
@action (...を挿入) because the label is translated as "Tab key action when 
nothing is selected".  I would use a different style (...を挿入する) if one of 
them is an option with a checkbox, something like "Insert indent 
characters if nothing is selected".
