Hi Nicolas Now I understand that
- 1 :: item 1 [TAB]- item 2 works as expected, when assuming that you don't want the space after the "-" to change the indentation similar to Emacs Electric C but want to keep only TAB, C-c and the modified cursor keys to change the indentation. BTW, were there considerations or discussions about "electric indentation" for lists (space after the "-")? So, for what I want to do I have to use - 1 :: item 1 -[TAB]item 2 Is the following also doing what is expected? - 1 :: item 1 [TAB]-[TAB][TAB]item 2 Michael On Tue, Oct 18, 2011 at 11:33, Michael Brand <michael.ch.br...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi all > > I would like to suggest to treat this together with a similar issue: > > 1- Run "emacs -q" > 2- M-x org-mode > 3- open /tmp/t.org > 4- Write the following > - 1 :: item 1 > [TAB]- item 2 > > When you press [TAB], "- item 2" is indented 7 spaces right.
