I propose:
hit of only one backspace anywhere in the white spaces indents of a line make it to be aligned to the nearest possible indent column of the previous lines.
Not clear enough?
example of white spaces in a text:
0
0
8

16

suppose the cursor is anywhere in the 16 white spaces (but not at column 0) of the last line.
Only one backspace hit will change it to 8 white spaces and put the cursor on the first non white
caracter.

Yes, in other way, a backspace should remove x spaces like it removes tabs.
Tabs and x spaces should have same behavior with backspace-key.
