Shift-Tab not tabbing back
See original GitHub issueIf I have two tabs and hit Shift-Tab I expect to go back a tab, but instead I am taken back to the beginning of the line, no matter how many tabs I have on that line.
Is this intended behaviour or a bug? I’m not sure.

This is intended behavior, but you can configure it.
Shift-tab is bound to auto-indent the line or selection by default.
I know about this issue for several years, but as nobody commented I feel like I should. This is not expected and obvious behaviour. Most editors unindent on Shift+Tab.
