Backspace over indent Is it possible to have the backspace delete to the previous indent instead of just a single character?
For instance: If I have the cursor just in front of the <li>second</li> on line 3, I would like to have the backspace delete 4 spaces instead of just 1 space. If I have the cursor just in front of the </ul> on line 4, I would like to press the backspace key twice to have it line up with the <ul> on line 1. I was able to find the Tabify and Untabify commands which have helped some. |

Re: Backspace over indent So is this currently doable and I'm missing the setting or should this be moved to Suggestions?

Re: Backspace over indent Hello,
The current version doesn't support such a feature, except for making a macro or snippet for that purpose and assign that macro or snippet as BACKSPACE. I will think about that in future versions if this is important to you. You can also use SHIFT + TAB to delete tabs after selecting the lines you want to remove indent. Thank you!

Re: Backspace over indent Actually, never mind.
I found out that the other editors I use have the same functionality. The difference was that I had tab indenting turned on in them whereas I was using space indenting in EmEditor. Thanks for a great product. |
