Beginning of headline, after *

Beginning of headline, after *

Hi,

I was reading the EmacsWiki and saw a shortcut M-m which takes you to the
beginning of an indented line and I was wondering, is there a shortcut in
org-mode to go to the beginning of a heading (second space after the last
*)? If not, should M-m do this in org-mode?

If this feature to implement at all, I would suggest C-c
M-m. Overriding a global key binding can be inconvenient.

I just came up with a better solution.

When cursor is on a headline but not at the beginning of the heading,
C-a move it to the beginning.

  *** An example h
                 |
      |<---------+ first C-a
      |
  |<--+ second C-a

You can find a similar behavior in many other modes such as
message-mode.

Leo,

Good idea, one problem with this though is that for people using screen you
have to type C-a a C-a a. Kind of a long keystroke. Then again, judging from
all the shift keystrokes in org-mode, console functionality doesn't appear
to be a very high priority.

I would think though that it would annoy people who are used to C-a going to
the beginning of the line.

This is a useful idea.

The C-a binding in screen is evil in any case :P

The suggested behaviour (C-a takes you to after the *s) is consistent
with all of the comint-based modes, as well as many others, so it
shouldn't be too surprising to anyone.

If someone really, really wants C-a to always go to the beginning of
the line, then they can set inhibit-field-text-motion to t (works for
shell-mode, anyway).

Yes it is.

Thinks are less clear for plain list items where we could have
a similar thing, going to the

      - some item
        |<--------- this could be the C-a position

I found it not as useful as for headlines.
