how to disable smart indentation following a blank line

Let's say I have just created a function and am ready to create another one, i.e. (dot = space, underscore = cursor)

def test(self):
....print 'abc'_

Pressing Enter now will create a line with 4 leading space:

def test(self):
....print 'abc'
...._

Since I am done with this function, I just press Backspace followed by Enter, which will again create a line with 4 leading space:

def test(self):
....print 'abc'

...._

which is rather annoying as I will need to press Backspace again before I can type {{def}}.

Is there an option to keep smart indentation, but changing its behavior such that pressing Enter on a blank line will just create another blank line?

Hello Sok,

There is no option to control this behavior (and I don't see why it should

be optional; it should work correctly by default). Feel free to vote for
