I usually edit Python code that has a lot of whitespace indenting.
The backspace key works nicely, and I'm able to delete indents,
but I'm unable to do so with the <Del> key.
I've searched the web, searched the scripts and tips, asked on the vim mailing list,
asked on IRC and read a lot of documentation.
In the end, I found it easier to write a Python script that gave me the desired behaviour.
So, here it is. It works for me. |

(for *nix)
Note that you need Python-support compiled in to your Vim.
(On Debian, just apt-get install vim-python)
Save the script to your .vim/indent folder.
Add these two lines to your .vimrc:
inoremap <silent> <Del> <ESC>:pyfile ~/.vim/indent/delete.py<CR>i
nnoremap <silent> <Del> :pyfile ~/.vim/indent/delete.py<CR>

Fixed a bug that made it unable to delete lines when there was only a single character left. |

Made deletion of characters at the end of the line move the cursor one to the left, in order to avoid leaving the cursor at an nonexistant character. |
