Re: [Orgmode] Re: Smarter indent with C-j

[Leo]

I now find some time to think about Eddward's questions and I just
realized all those questions have little to do with what C-j should
do.

My proposed change is in common with some other outliners such as this
one: http://www.omnigroup.com/applications/omnioutliner/pro/

Any comments?

This is not related to C-j, which stays in the same list entry or
heading.

Again, not related to what C-j does.

Again not related. C-j is about aligning text.
