Subject: Strange behavior of M-RET with new list improvements
Date: Tue, 7 Sep 2010 07:25:14 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <448D9DB2-71DE-4B9B-BF5B-B575735D794D@yahoo.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <87wrr1aexq.wl%n.goaziou@gmail.com>
Hi Nicolas & list,
I've noticed some strange behavior with the new list code when
pressing M-RET:
Firstly, if I have a construct like this:
<-------------
*** Some heading
- Bullet
- Bullet
- Bullet |
<-------------
With the cursor at |, M-RET correctly adds another list item
(indented, and started with -). But now there is no way to make a new
heading with M-RET, except to terminate the list with a blank line,
and then press M-RET (even though list followed immediately by
headline is a valid terminated list). Previously, if the cursor was at
the beginning of the line after the last bullet, M-RET would produce a
new heading:
<-------------
*** Some heading
- Bullet
- Bullet
- Bullet
|
<-------------
(press M-RET)
<-------------
*** Some heading
- Bullet
- Bullet
- Bullet
*** |
<-------------
With the new code, it produces an indented list item with -. Is there
any way to get the old behaviour back? Perhaps a good compromise is
that M-RET at bol produces a heading, even if logically that spot
could continue a list? (You can continue the list with M-RET on the
last line of the list).
The second problem is with folded headlines. Org mode behaves
correctly, but the result is surprising for the user. If you have the
headline above, but folded, with the cursor at the end of the line,
like this:
<-------------
*** Some heading...|
<-------------
pressing RET to open a new line, followed by M-RET (presumably to make
a new heading) results in the following:
<-------------
*** Some heading... - Bullet
- |
<-------------
So Org is trying to make a new list item, because the previous line is
a list item, even though it's folded. I believe that since only a
heading is visible, that should be interpreted to mean that the user
wants a new heading. I am not sure why the heading displays partially
folded, and partially opened, but refolding and reopening with TAB
shows that the structure is correct.
Thanks,
-Anthony
