Or, alternatively, put it in with an option to turn it on (default

several characters - but I am learning...
What will then happen if the user is cycling bullets in a 100+ items
list and hits alphabetic bullets? Besides undoing that move, there's
nothing much that could be done then. Further cycling would become
impossible.
I think it would be appropriate in this case to simply
throw an error and let the user clean up with undo.
One idea would be to count items before cycling, and skipping
alphabetic bullets for lists above 26 items. It has to be carefully
implemented, as it could get very heavy on computations with large
lists.
We do not want that I agree.
Also, inserting new items in an alphabetical list should check if the
27th item has been reached and change bullets back to numbers if
needed.
Again we could simply throw an error here and
let the user handle the cleanup.
I'm sure there are others subtleties that I can't think of right now.
Nicolas, would you *object* against a patch by Nathaniel that implements
this? You are Mr lists now, so your green light will be needed.
Kind regards
- Carsten
