Inserting list items
by Todd Wilson
::
Rate this Message:
Hi all,
If I want to insert a new bullet item after an existing one, I can place my cursor at the end of that item and hit return, which opens up a new bullet item for me. But what's the easiest way to insert a new bullet item at the beginning of a list? I've tried several obvious approaches, but all of them require fussing with indentation levels or combining two separate bulleted list, etc., and I'm looking for something more direct. Thanks, Todd Wilson _______________________________________________ Tomboy-list mailing list Tomboy-list@... http://lists.beatniksoftware.com/listinfo.cgi/tomboy-list-beatniksoftware.com |

That's not too bad, but it would be nice if there was a still more direct way -- for example, placing the cursor either right before or right after the first bullet symbol and hitting return (or shift-return, control-return, etc.).

Try putting the cursor on the line before the start of the list and hitting <Alt> + <Right>.
