"The following commands act on items when the cursor is in the first line of an item (the line with the bullet or number)" I can't submit a patch, but this is what I might have liked to see (the documentation-addition that I might have submitted): begin -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- If you find that using a different bullet for a sub-list (than that used for the current list-level) improves readability, customize the variable 'org-list-demote-modify-bullet'. For example, this lisp in your '.emacs' > (setq org-list-demote-modify-bullet > (quote ( > ("+" . "-") ; sub-list uses '-' if cu > ("-" . "+") > ("*" .
