Hi,
First time poster and recently started using org-mode and so far
enjoying it :)
One nag I do have though is how moving of basic lists are handled.
I constantly bump into "First item of list cannot move without its
subtree"
Is there a way to avoid this error and instead be given the option to
say "Please just move it up to the next level" ?
What I often have is that I during a meeting or brain dump do this:
```
* Some important topic
- idea 1, some notes
- idea 2, another note
- idea 3, a third note
```
And then I go over these and I use the shift/alt+keys to reorder the
ideas up and down and eventually I would like to do this:
```
* Some important topic
- idea 1, some notes
** TODO idea 2, another note
- idea 3, a third note
```
I know I can press a short cut to make it a top item, but why can't I
just use the normal standard tree editing keys ?
Is there a way to have org-mode ask what kind of thing it should do when
I move the lists "out-of-bounds" instead
of just error out on me ?
Thank you,
/max
