Subject: custom backspace

Hi all,

I'd really like an emacs configuration whereby backspace will go back one layer of indentation if the previous character is an indented whitespace, for all programming language modes.

Also, I'd really like control-backspace to be contextual so that it will eat up all the whitespace if the previous character is whitespace, or delete a word (which I think is the default) if the previous character is a non-whitespace character.

Can anybody please help me to get this set up?

Best regards,
Sam
