Hungry Delete Mode

hungry-delete-mode is what I like to call a “free feature” —it asks nothing of you. In contrast, most other worthwhile features charge you a price. The cheapest novelties charge some mental effort on your part to fit into your workflow, the moderate ones ask for some space on your ever-diminishing set of free keys, and a few narcisistic gems demand that you adopt a completely new state of mind (paredit, I'm looking at you).

hungry-delete-mode doesn't steal a key and takes absolutely no effort to master. It isn't big and flashy, but it is one of the features I miss the most when I'm not in Emacs.

Plain and simple, it makes backspace and C-d erase all consecutive white space in a given direction (instead of just one). Use it everywhere.
