In Eclipse, how can spaces behave as tabs ?

I have replaced all my tabs by spaces.

But now, when I hit backspace to remove an indentation level, it removes only one space. So I have to hit 4 times space to remove an indentation level.

That is one of the most absurd thing I've seen in Eclipse, so I guess there is an option somewhere to enable us to remove 4 spaces as if it where a tab ?

(because we use spaces instead of tabs for practical reason, 4 spaces is supposed to mean "1 tab")

Thanks

Note : I use Eclipse PDT
