Fair point, but I find it useful to have a simpler and speedier combination, redundant or not. For instance, I often use Org to make structured documents out of plain text, text copy-pasted from PDFs etc., which involves scrolling through the document and repeatedly turning the lines at point into headings. It quickly becomes a nuisance to do this with a sequence of two double keypresses (`C-c *', that is, `C-c S-8' -- not to mention that I routinely switch between keyboards for three languages with somewhat different ideas where `*' should be). > At the very least, we shouldn't now have three keystrokes (C-c *, > M-RET, C-RET) that do the same thing!

I think this needs to be revisited (before too many people get used to the recent arrangement). Yours, Christian
