I've never felt the need: once I'm in a list, I use M-<RET> to add another item, but I always start the list with a dash and a space, typed explicitly: nothing to go wrong, nothing to remember. BTW, that last point is getting more important as I get older... [Aside: I find it more annoying to have to remember to type the requisite number of RETs at the *end* of the list in order to allow M-RET to create a headline afterwards: I invariably end up creating a list item that I have to go back and delete.] YMMV of course: I'm not saying you shouldn't have such a function. But I often wonder *why* people would want such a thing (and more often than I would like to acknowledge, people give good, cogent reasons why they do, which indicates to me that I often lack imagination.) -- Nick
