Not to mention plenty of editors (e.g. vim) will unindent when you
press backspace.
I don't think that's strictly true. If you have just indented with a tab
character, then backspace will delete that tab character. But, if you
indent with either 4 spaces or use the Tab key with "expandtab" enabled,
then it will just delete the right-most space character.
The option you want is "smarttab", then it will behave as I describe.
You're quite right (as was I because you didn't mention it wasn't
out-of-the-box functionality ;)).
I may well add that setting to my .vimrc, but FWIW, the Ctrl-D thing
harks back to the original "vi" which I grew up on, so although I may
add that setting, my muscle memory will probably still have me pressing
Ctrl-D forever ;)
(Or install the "vim-sensible" settings, which I highly recommend.)
I have no interest in making my settings "sensible", thank you very much :D
Thanks though - it's always nice to learn another way to hone things
just as one likes them ...
