There are certain use-cases that come up -- typically when using org-mode in 'brainstorming mode'. I am sure they are so basic that there must be ways of doing it that I dont know of...
1. Multiple heading demotion Lets say I start writing down some points maybe with/without some additional text * Cat * Dog And now I decide to put all these into a superheading 'My Pets' The only way I know is to enter * My Pets before Cat and then demote each subtree -- if there were not two but ten I'd have to do that 10 times I tried selecting the whole set that I want to demote and doing M-S-right but I get the message This command is active in special contexts like tables headlines or timestamps 2. Converting heading type Sometimes one assumes that the points are 'small' and so are entered as + points. Thus * Pets + Cat + Dog and then at some point it emerges that the +es had better be changed to headings that is (the requisite number of) *s. Any easy way of doing that?
