Some more annoyance: VScode uses **outdent**, but [Microsoft discourages
it](https://learn.microsoft.com/nl-nl/style-guide/a-z-word-list-term-collections/i/indent-outdent).
Democratically, Google reports **unindent** 1.1 million and **outdent** 31,6
million times. Best explanation (to use
Wiktionary shows "unindent", "outdent", "dedent" as
[synonyms](https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/outdent) for the exact action
backspace is performing (and the preceding checkbox for shift-tab). Its better
to consistently use the relevant terminology than to attempt to describe it in
English,
New attempt: "With the cursor inside an indentation, pressing backspace deletes
this indentation level instead of deleting only a single character."

This is incorrect, it removes one _level_ of indentation, it does not delete
indentation completely. The existing message is more correct
It's not removing indentation completely, it's removing one ident level (AKA
"unindent").
So maybe we indeed need a better wording if it's not clear, but your proposal
is not describing the feature accurately.
