I have sofftabstop (and shiftwidth) set to 4, and expandtab enabled. Thus, when
deleting groups of spaces, vim treats them as tabs and deletes them 4 at a
time. I want vim to do that only if from the start of the line and up to the
cursor's position there's only spaces and nothing else.
Currently I'm doing the following:
inoremap <silent> <BS> <C-R>=fbs()<CR>
function fbs()
if getline('.') =~ '^ \{' . (col('.') - 1) . '}'
return "\<BS>"
endif
return "\<Left>\<Del>"
endfunction
It works, but it breaks the repeat (dot) command, and I don't want that :). I
think it's because of the <Left>. Any help (either modifying the previous code
so that it doesn't break the dot command or coming up with a new one that
doesn't) is appreciated.
