Personally I do like: - this way of indenting a long line that extends to more than one line
So an idea that comes to mind is, how about disabling indentation for lists and have a special way of editing a list item like so: - have your list content here up to a point where you press <C-M-TAB> and that indents your next line (or pointer) So pressing just TAB in a list content won't have any effect.
