[O] Annoying empty line after M-RET / C-RET
Dear Org-Mode Gurus, I noticed some strange behaviour in Org Mode. I'm not sure if this happens for a good reason, or is simply a bug. Either way, it's pretty annoying. Normally, C-RET inserts a new empty headline directly after the previous one, i.e. Stuff * Head 1_ [C-RET] Stuff * Head 1 * _ (where underscore "_" denotes the cursor) However, if the headline is preceded by an empty line, for whathever reason, the C-RET and M-RET commands add an extra newline: Stuff * Head 1_ [C-RET] Stuff * Head 1 * _ This is especially annoying when quickly typing notes into a small set of headers. A similar behaviour occurs at deeper levels as well. Also, this happens if there's a previous entry that ends with an empty line (i.e. it doesn't have to happen at the first headline entry). Is this a bug? Does it happen for a good reason (if so, what's the use case)? Can this be turned off? Thanks, Volker -- Volker Grabsch ---<<(())>>---

I think by default it tries to guess what you want by looking at what's already there: ie it interprets the previous blank line above your current heading to mean that you like having blank lines between all your headings.

Ah, okay. That makes sense to me. So I'll either have to be consistent with empty lines (using or not using them), or I'll have to adjust org-blank-before-new-entry. Also, I just noticed that this is explained in the FAQ: http://orgmode.org/worg/org-faq.html#blank-line-after-headlines-and-list-items Sorry for not having looked there before asking.
