This small plugin brings to Sublime Text the "hungry backspace" feature from IntelliJ. The hungry backspace retains the scope (indentation) when the backspace key is pressed on an empty line.
This plugin is NOT meant to replace backspace entirely, it is meant to be used in conjunction with the original backspace function which is now accessed by Shift+Backspace
1.1.4
Added 3 new features based on IntelliJ's smart backspace, of which two are experimental and one is enabled by default.
-
[Experimental] When you press backspace with your cursor at line start if the indentation level of the current line is wrong it is reindented Options: "enabled"/ "disabled" / "forced"
"right_to_left_backspacing" : true
-
If you are on line start and the upper line is empty the current line gets moved one up
"consume_above_line": true
-
[Experimental] If you are on line start and press backspace and the upper line is not empty the current lines contents get moved up Options: "enabled"/ "disabled" / "forced"
"backspace_line_content_move": "enabled"

By default this plugin overrides your backspace with the "hungry" one however, as mentioned previously the plugin is meant to be used in conjunction with the default backspace which is now accessible via SHIFT+BACKSPACE
. You can flip between space and shift-backspace at any time by pressing CTRL+.(dot)
[
// the hungry backspace
{ "keys": ["backspace"], "command": "hungry_backspace" },
// the default backspace
{ "keys": ["shift+backspace"], "command": "default_backspace"},
// flipping the hungry and default backspace actions
{ "keys": ["ctrl+."], "command": "flip_hungry_backspace_key_bindings"}
]
{
// enable/disable plugin
"enabled": true,
// filetypes with these extensions don't have hungry backspacing
"excluded_filetypes": ["hs", "py"],
// controls whether the default/hungry backspace bindings should be flipped
"flipped_key_bindings": false,
// when the upper line is empty but contains some indentation a backspace
// causes the upper line to obtain this lines indentation
"force_indent_at_upper_level" : true,
