Hey, I'm all about misguided user input :) I read that brief thread, and it looks like there was a call for opinions that I missed! Better late than never... I don't see why `org-ctrl-c-star' --> `org-toggle-heading' isn't enough for creating headlines out of existing text. At the very least, we shouldn't now have three keystrokes (C-c *, M-RET, C-RET) that do the same thing! Also, `org-M-RET-may-split-line', which was once a very interesting variable, now does nothing since M-RET simply doesn't split the line. Or am I missing something about the new arrangement? However it falls out, I would love to have two commands back: one that starts a new heading under point, and one that starts a new heading at the end of the current subtree. Ie, what M-RET and C-RET used to do...
