Suggestions on list create/edit commands:

["T. V. Raman" <raman@users.sf.net>]

Hi,

Here are a couple of suggestions on list item creation --
incidentally I ended up binding 
org-insert-heading to C-j -- it is a lot nicer to use.

My list edit suggestions are mostly motivated by the behavior of
emacs python mode.

0)     Enable backspace to outdent while creating nested lists,
       this will make it extremely easy to close an inner list
       and continue.
       

1)     orgtbl is nice as a minor mode. Why not go once step
       further and enable org as a minor mode; it would be nice
       to be able to create structured lists in email.

2)    At present, when you create a new list item, point
        sometimes appears
        to land at the beginning of the line, would be nice if
        you could just start typing after creating the new item.

3)      Would be nice to be able to start a list without having
        to create the first bullet by hand, but I dont have a
        good suggestion for how to go about achieving it


 Thanks,
