Ordinarily, M-m is bound to (back-to-indentation) – move point to the first non-whitespace character on the line. It differs from C-a.
Might it make sense for org-mode to override M-m?
Move the point to the first "user" word on the line, to the first non-asterisk/whitespace/dash/TODO character on the line.

Alternatively, you can set `org-special-ctrl-a/e' to t and use C-a for your
desired movement.
Thanks.,

Not to override `M-m' but perhaps to define "*" as a syntactic
whitespace character.
Patch attached -- use with caution. I tested it a bit and it seems
to work, but not all tests pass and there may be side-effects that I
could not observe.
In the meantime, I guess
org-special-ctrl-a
org-special-ctrl-a/e
are useful enough, as already pointed.

Bastien,
this seems to cause a problem with org-ctrl-c-minus when trying to cycle
a bullet point past +. That is, it works if the bullet is - so you can
cycle to the next which is + but you cannot cycle past that.
I've tried this batch with org up to date a few minutes ago (ignore my
signature info below as this emacs is running a slightly older
org). Emacs was started with -Q.
Debug trace:
,----
| Debugger entered--Lisp error: (args-out-of-range 85 88)
| replace-match(" " nil nil "*" 1)
| org-cycle-list-bullet(nil)
| call-interactively(org-cycle-list-bullet)
| org-ctrl-c-minus()
| call-interactively(org-ctrl-c-minus nil nil)
`----
Point was at column 0 of the first item in the attached minimal org
file.
I hope that's enough info...
Thanks,
eric

Hi Eric,
thanks for testing.

Attached patch (against master) fixes this problem.
I'm not sure I'm in favor of this change, though, I expect
it to cause other problems and the benefit looks small for
now.
Do you see other reasons than M-m where stars as whitespace
chars are useful? What about *markup*?
Thanks,

I have no issues with the current behaviour (i.e. the behaviour without
your patch). I only tried out the patch to see what would happen! ;-) I
never use M-m, relying on C-a (well, org variant actually) to do what I
want.
thanks,
eric

I'm not applying this patch. I don't think there is a real
need to make * characters as whitespaces, and checking against
whitespaces syntax chars happens to often in the code for such
a change to be safe.
