Please implement softtabstop
Brought to you by:
err
I use expandtab to have spaces instead of tab characters, however, jVi does not have softtabstop, so I have to individually backspace over every space character when I want to dedent. In vim, with softtabstop, pressing backspace will delete spaces up to the previous tab stop. Please implement this standard Vim feature.
Here is the relevant discussion thread I posted a few months ago:

Your previous posting slipped in under the radar, I apologize for missing it. I will take a look at the softtabstop feature and see what it might take to implement it.
Its implemented in the checked in CVS source. Would you give it a try?
Sorry, do you have a link to directions on fetching the appropriate sources from the CVS repo and building the plugin?
The README that you get when you check stuff out can be viewed at http://jvi.cvs.sourceforge.net/viewvc/jvi/nbvi/README?revision=1.3&view=markup
There's kind of a catch-22 there...
Available in nbvi-1.2.6.beta1
