Hello
This must be completely trival, but I cannot find a solution in the
manual nor in google.
I would like to bind some key, say (super return) to a function which
would insert a simple item in a list.
(meta return) inserts in an org mode file, a heading.
However (meta return) in message mode, with
(add-hook 'message-mode-hook 'turn-on-orgstruct)
(add-hook 'message-mode-hook 'turn-on-orgstruct++)
(add-hook 'message-mode-hook 'turn-on-orgtbl)
Inserts a newline indents it and adds a "-" such as in
-
This is precisely want I want to have in an org-mode file.
How can I do it?

org-meta-return (bound to M-RET by default) does this when you're in a plain
list. If you're not in a plain list, it inserts a heading. So just put the
point in a list and it should do what you want.
If you want a key to both create a plain list when you're not in one and add
another item when you are in one, that wouldn't be hard to do.

I know this.

Yeah, I know I have such a function, but I hoped org-mode already had
that functionality.

I've never felt the need: once I'm in a list, I use M-<RET> to add
another item, but I always start the list with a dash and a space, typed
explicitly: nothing to go wrong, nothing to remember. BTW, that last
point is getting more important as I get older...
[Aside: I find it more annoying to have to remember to type the
requisite number of RETs at the *end* of the list in order to allow
M-RET to create a headline afterwards: I invariably end up creating a
list item that I have to go back and delete.]
YMMV of course: I'm not saying you shouldn't have such a function.
But I often wonder *why* people would want such a thing (and more often
than I would like to acknowledge, people give good, cogent reasons why
they do, which indicates to me that I often lack imagination.)

Very strange for me it is the other way around.
- First of all I write far more lists than headings (for example in
this email).
- then I have no real need for entering a heading via M-<RET>
because I simple hit return and then «*» (which makes 2 key
strokes), however to start a with a list, I would need 3 keystrokes.
Return, some indent command or space, and then «*».
Anyhow I ended up binding my private function to M-<RET> and M-<RET> to
super RET, etc.
