Subject: unordered list feature request: new sub-lists automatically switch to different list-character
Date: Fri, 21 May 2010 11:24:08 +0530	[thread overview]

Context/Sample org content

current
**** unordered list
	 + topA
	   + innerA1
	   + innerA2
	 + topB
	   + innerB1


proposed
**** unordered list
	 + topA
	   - innerA1 <--- '-' used automatically instead of '+'
	   - innerA2 <--- " " "
	 + topB
	   - innerB1 <--- " " "

-----------------------------------------------------------------


When creating nested/child lists ('innerX' items) under an existing list item ('topX' items),
the current behaviour does not make an effort to change the leading list-denoter character (-,+,*).

Could a feature be provided where creating a such a child-list would make this list's items begin with a different list-denoter?

I find it helps readability (and hence efficiency when working with lists) when I manually (S-left, S-right) do this. If others agree, perhaps this could be provided as a built-in feature?

I don't know lisp, (& it's increasingly looking like it may be time to *find* the time to learn JJ) so I can't code this myself.
