Description

« Hide

From Paul Bradshaw <pbradshaw@advsol.com>:

A "hungry delete" swallows up all whitespace when pressed, rather than just one space, tab, or line-feed at a time.

For instance, when you have this (where "|" is the caret):

public foo()
{
        // some code
        *|*
}

Pressing delete will get you to this:

public foo()
{
        // some code
*|*
}

But pressing a hungry delete will get you to this:

public foo()
{
        // some code|
}

Which is much more logical, as it's the exact inverse of pressing enter (i.e., pressing enter auto-indents and opens a new line... pressing hungry delete deletes the indent and closes the line).

Re: #9506- Editing Request: Hungry Delete
Should just emphasize here I was talking about hungry BACKSPACE, not to be confused with the Delete key.
