C-c C-c changes indentation by side-effect. Its purpose is to repair the current list, which is broken if you use "[TAB]-". Also don't forget M-RET to insert an new item. I strongly suggest that binding which does a lot more than simply adding one bullet (renumbering if necessary, updating of checkboxes, etc.). I usually do M-RET and possibly TAB until the item has the correct indentation. Knowing that, I don't see any necessity for an "electric indentation". Though, to answer your question, I don't think this has ever been discussed. > So, for what I want to do I have to use > > - 1 :: item 1 > -[TAB]item 2 "M-RET TAB" will be enough. > Is the following also doing what is expected? > > - 1 :: item 1 > [TAB]-[TAB][TAB]item 2 I don't know what is expected here. Again, since you press "[TAB]-" you're creating a broken list. First use C-c C-c to repair it, then you can expect something out of it. Regards, -- Nicolas Goaziou
