What blank lines? Customize org-blank-before-new-entry. I have the following setting: ,---- | org-blank-before-new-entry is a variable defined in `org.el'. | Its value is=20 | ((heading) | (plain-list-item)) |=20 `---- If you are in the body whatever blank lines you created will stay ,----[ before M-RET ] | * TODO foo | `---- hitting M-RET gives me this ,---- | * TODO foo |=20=20=20 | *=20 `---- Now you had a blank line after * TODO foo so it's the body of that item and M-RET should preserve that. I have org-insert-heading-respect-content set to t I normally create headlines from the task itself so I don't press RET on * TODO foo if I only want to make a new headline following it. Just * TODO foo M-RET to get ,---- | * TODO foo | *=20 `---- I get no extra blank lines with point on the heading and using C-S-RET. > > ***** C- does not seem to do what the info page suggests. > It seems to go into a column selection mode.=C2=A0 Which, by itself, is > very useful, and I'll have to remember that.=C2=A0=C2=A0 I can't seem to = find > the C- behavior anywhere (jump over the body, and add a new > heading at the same level.
