In most "power" outliners on the Mac, pressing TAB indents the

Since pressing TAB on a new entry (one with no body) doesn't do
anything right now, I think TAB in that case should do what M-S-
<right> does. This little snippet achieves that:
(defun org-indent-empty-items (arg)
(when (eq arg 'empty)
(goto-char (line-end-position))
(cond
((org-at-item-p) (org-indent-item 1))
((org-on-heading-p) (org-demote-subtree)))))

Hi John,
this is not a bad idea, but it is a bit unstable because
the definition of empty entry is a bit unstable, it
depends on empty lines and how they are treated.
An alternative would be to activate this special feature only
immediately
after starting a new entry, either by looking at last-command, or,
maybe better,
by doing this in entries which only have the stars and maybe a TODO
keyword, but
but no text yet.
Then, TAB could even walk you through a number of indentations, like
child,
and then parent, grandparent,..., all the way to top level, and then
back
to the initial level.

This also works for regular lists.
