Hi,

- There is a strange issue with deleting spaces from the beginning
of a line. Suppose you have a file with indentation set to 2 spaces and two lines:
if foo: bar()
If you move cursor after the first space of the second line and press Backspace, you get
if foo: bar
with the cursor just before "bar", not in the beginning of the line. That is weird. Is this a "feature" of Scintilla or Geany? If the latter, which source file I need to fix? :-)
I this is truly a feature part of "remove indentation rather than character part of it", and I'm not sure it should be fixed at all. Perhaps it would be OK to delete the *character* the cursor is *inside* the indentation level and delete the indentation if at the end of an indentation level. [1]
- here with "character" I mean one of the character(s) that creates
the indentation level; with "inside", I mean "not at a bound"; and with "indentation level" I mean the 2 spaces with a 2 space indentation: a line starting with 4 space have 2 level of indentation
For me, the following behaviour seems more meaningful. If the cursor is inside the indentation level, delete this indentation level, so that new cursor position will be just before the indentation level or code to the right of the deleted indentation level. If the cursor is at a boundary, delete the indentation level to the left of the cursor.
Regards, Eugene.
Oh, I misunderstood your point the first time. Why not. I think the current behavior is "reduce indentation of the current line", as done at other places; but I don't see any harm with your suggestion, quite the opposite, even if it is probably a little overkill IMO.
