Re: possible org-insert-heading bug?

Hi Erik,


Glad to see you around :)

These all may be quite related. I haven't seen activity on those
threads suggesting whether a) the documentation is, in fact, right or
wrong or b) whether anyone has taken action to fix or adjust the
behavior of M-RET or C-RET based on the complaints/counter-intuitive
observations.

Let me know if those are similar to your issue. Perhaps Bastien can
comment on the state of these thread, now at least four in number...

- http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.orgmode/72399

I've taken to using C-RET in the meantime, as it seems to do what I
often expect when reflexively pressing M-RET. Also, someone once
corrected me on the documentation that "at the end of the line" might
mean before the ellipsis, not after?


Hope that helps!
John
