I tried to search the forums but I can't find an answer.
SQL developer has some quirk where pressing backspace goes to the nearest Tab column if the preceding characters are only spaces. For example in my setup, I think Tabs are configured to move 3 spaces. So here's what happens
backspace at column 3, goes to column 1
backspace at column 4, goes to column 1
backspace at column 5, goes to column 4
backspace at column 6, goes to column 4
backspace at column 7, goes to column 4
backspace at column 8, goes to column 7
etc.
It messes up my formatting because I often have to press additional spaces after I press a backspace because it SQL Developer removes too many spaces. I want backspaces to delete exactly one character.
Many thanks!
