Dear all,
The indentation of lists has annoyed me for quite a while. The following
behavior can be observed:
<example 1>
* Head
- 1
- 2
+ 3
- 4
If we need -4 to be on the same level as 1 and 2, we need to move 4 to
form the following:
<example 2>
* Head
- 1
- 2
+ 3
- 4
Now if I reindent the buffer, <example 2> will go back to <example 1>,
i.e. the indentation of list is not robust at all.
Thus I propose the following:
i. TAB can only move an item if it is before the first indentation
level
<example 2>
* Head * Head
- 1 - 1
- 2 ==>> - 2
+ 3 + 3
- 4 - 4
ii. M-<right/left> for moving to other levels for example if 3 should
be a sublist, move cursor to it and press <M-right>
* Head
- 1
- 2
+ 3
- 4
I feel this behavior is more robust than current one.
HTH,

After some puzzling, I tend to agree that this is a better proposal, so
I will give it a try in the next version. Thanks, Leo, for the detailed
description. There are, of course, remaining problems, like the first
text lines after a list - it will be indented to the list level when
pressing tab. I don't think that it is possible to implement this
in a bullet-proof way, all we can ami for is something that is
comfortable for most.
