It's been a long time since I cared about such things (I'm a Python
developer, so tabs are anathema unless I'm editing a makefile), but I'm
pretty sure there's a delete-backward-using-spaces variable, or something
similar. Poke around with M-x apropos. I'd hunt myself, but only have my
smarty-pants Android phone at the ready. I don't think it has GNU Emacs
installed. :-)
