However, there's still one thing I miss from traditional note-taking apps when working with lists. Specifically, I'd like to enable the following behavior: - If the cursor is at the end of a list item, then "Return" should insert a new list item (i.e., automatically perform org-meta-return) - If the cursor is at the beginning of an empty list item, then "Return" should outdent the list item (or remove it if it's already at the outer-most indentation level) - If the cursor is at the beginning of an empty list item, then "Backspace" should delete the list item and move my cursor to the end of the previous list item - It'd be nice of these rules could be applied to checkboxes as well What I'm describing is really just the default behavior around bulleted / numbered lists in other GUI editors (e.g., Google Docs, Gmail, OSX Notes, etc.). Are there any options built in to org-mode that'd let me enable this?

Hi all,

I've been using org-mode fo= r a while now, and it's been life-changing in terms of how I keep organ= ized. However, there's still one thing I miss from traditional note-tak= ing apps when working with lists. Specifically, I'd like to enable the = following behavior:
  • If the cursor is at the end of a list= item, then "Return" should insert a new list item (i.e., automat= ically perform org-meta-return)
  • If the cursor is at the beginning o= f an empty list item, then "Return" should outdent the list item = (or remove it if it's already at the outer-most indentation level)
    • =
  • If the cursor is at the beginning of an empty list item, then "Bac= kspace" should delete the list item and move my cursor to the end of t= he previous list item
  • It'd be nice of these rules could be appl= ied to checkboxes as well
What I'm describing is real= ly just the default behavior around bulleted / numbered lists in other GUI = editors (e.g., Google Docs, Gmail, OSX Notes, etc.). Are there any options = built in to org-mode that'd let me enable this?

Best,
Calvin
