I use description lists a lot in org documents, and I find myself following
a certain pattern to add new ones:

   1. Put the cursor on another item and hit M-<RET> to create a new item
   2. Enter the first part of the list item
   3. Hit <RIGHT>, <RIGHT>, <RIGHT>, <SPACE>
   4. Enter the second part of the list item

Frequently, I find myself hitting <TAB> to try to do step 3, which indents
the line, which I then have to undo. Is there a key combination which does
step 3 without needing to hit four keys sequentially?

Thanks,
Will

Haha, that's a lot more clever than what I was trying to do. Thanks for
pointing that out.
