Saner Auto-bullet handling
Last modified: 2017-07-31 12:36:34 UTC
I use tomboy very often. The bullet point feature is nice, but while working with it for some time now I noticed the following "glitches": 1.) more than one "-", like "---------" should probably not be considered as the start of a bullet line. I often use those "-" lines as separators between stuff I c&p into some notes. In fact, it would be very nice if "--" would result in a <hr>-type line in the note. Would that be possible? 2.) releated to the first: say, I don't want to have bullet points but for some reason, but I stared a line with "- something here" and press return. I will end up with bullet points in both lines (correct). IIRC in open office you can undo this "auto format", meaning the insertion and usage of bullet lists is seen as a separate step in the undo history. It would be very handy to have this in tomboy
Another thing: using <Tab> in a bullet'ed line If you press the <Tab> key in a line starting with a bullet, the WHOLE LINE is moved according to the tab. This should only happen if the cursor was set in front of the bullet, nut not after or even in between words after the bullet point.

I agree with all three of these ideas. Perhaps CTRL+Tab could continue indenting (as it does now) without needing to be at the start of the line, and plain TAB could go back to inserting a tab the way it does elsewhere.

Copying from bug 447235: Opened by Marius Gedminas (reporter, points: 9) 2007-06-13 17:40 UTC [reply] I'm trying to keep a nested TO-DO list in a Tomboy note: * task [in progress] - subtask [done] - subtask [in progress] * task - subtask I would like to use tabs to align the task status. However the <tab> key increases the indentation level instead of inserting a tab. I have to insert a tab on some other line and the copy & paste it. The Tab key should adjust the indentation level only when the cursor is to the left of the first character of the line. This is basically exactly what comment #1 says in a nicer way.
As this behavior was by design, this is an enhancement, reclassifying.
