I like the functionality, but I do find it too specialized to make this
behavior the default. So I would weaken it, or enclose turning it on
into a customization variable. The reasons why I find it too intrusive
the way it is now are:
- You enforce a colon for adding to the end of the line
- you enforce a particular type of bullet.
- when inserting in a empty line, the color switches to fixed-width
quotation
- people might want to use drag-and-drop to insert something into the
text that happens to be a bullet item.
Proposals:
- Don't enforce the colon when inserting at the end of the line.
- In the middle of a line, just insert there.
- If the current line is a bullet or a headline, *and* if you drop *on*
either the bullet or the headline stars, then make a new
headline/bullet for the dragged text. Always make the bullet after the
current line. (well, when inserting in front of a bullet, you could
insert before the current...)
- Respect the type of bullet: numbered, -, +, *.
