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
