Welcome back Carsten,
I hope you enjoyed your well-deserved vacation.
#1 is a bug, #2 and #3 are feature requests (both of which sound
familiar; apologies if they've been mentioned before).
1. Type "- " at the beginning of a blank buffer and then press M-RET.
On my system it stalls but if you press C-g it will insert another
line with -, but leave the cursor on the first line. I think it's a
problem with there not being a * first.
2. Should special C-a on plain lists work like it does on headings?
3. Is there a way to convert back and forth between headings and plain
lists? I often find myself creating a list of headings and then
deciding I'd really like it to be a plain list, or visa versa.
Handling indentation would obviously be important. Perhaps C-c - on
headings and C-u C-c - on plain lists could be used?
Thank you,
Scott

Fixed, thanks.

This sounds indeed familiar, so this has been discussed before.
What do people thing who use the special C-a for headlines? Should
we have this in items as well???

Piotr has a way to convert from plain list to outline in org-mouse, but
not the reverse. I guess we could implement such a command. I'll put
it on the list....

Why not - but only as an option, no?
Since this new special C-a behavior for lists would be available in
other major modes through orgstruct-mode (which is not the case of the
actual special C-a, only relevant in org-mode), it seems to me that we
need to be very sober on such a change.

My ideas was to not use a special option, but to assume that
if people want this for headlines, they will also want this for
items. Is that assumption wrong?

No, orgstruct-mode will not incorporate this feature.

It's certainly right. I've beeen using this option for a while but i'm
not anymore. Hence my skepticism.

All right.
