The command M-RET actually does what it's docstring says (insert before when point is at BOL, split line when it is inside), but there is inconsistent behaviour when point is at EOL, IMHO. Consider the following list (or equivalent headline structure), with point after "aaaa":
- aaaa + abbb + accc Using org-insert-heading and entering "bbbb" will produce this: - aaaa - bbbb + abbb + accc In doing so, the subtree of "aaaa" has been transferred to the new heading, which is almost never what I want (and could easily be done by appending the new list or headline text and then splitting the line). I would expect that the subtree of "aaaa" is considered as a unit when inserting a new headline with point at EOL (just like all moving commands would do and the result should be this: - aaaa + abbb + accc - bbbb Could org-insert-heading be extended to handle this situation as I outlined?
