This behavior is now parallel to the treatment of outline nodes.
This commit also introduces another change. When an outline node or a
plain list item is folded by outline and contains hidden children,
M-left/right will refuse to act on this item. You must either open
the tree, or use the subtree commands M-S-left and M-S-right.
Based on a patch by Matti De Craene, but significantly modified after
a discussion involving Bernt Hansen and others.

This commits adds the variable
`org-list-demote-modify-bullet' for this purpose.
TAB now cycles visibility in plain lists if the cursor is in a plain
list. This corresponds now to the new default value `t' of
`org-cycle-include-plain-lists'. If you want to treat plain list
items as part of the outline hierarchy during cycling of outline
headings (this is what a `t' value used to mean), set this variable to
`integrate'.
Setting the new option `org-hierarchical-todo-statistics' to nil will
make TODO statistics to be computed recursively. This means, not only
the direct children of a node contribute to its TODO statistics, but
the entire subtree.
You can also set the COOKIE_DATA property and add the word "recursive"
there to get recursive statistics for a specific tree.
When inserting new list entries, sometime empty lines will be
inserted automatically. This, however, makes only sense if empty
lines do not terminate the list, as configured by
`org-empty-line-terminates-plain-lists'.
This commit makes sure that, if
`org-empty-line-terminates-plain-lists' is set, automatic empty lines
will never be inserted.
Using `C-c C-x C-b' in a headline now again toggles all checkboxes
below hat headline. This feature got lost during a recent overhaul of
this function.
Reported by Chris Randle.
When a line now contains several statistics cookies, all of them will
be updated.
Jari Aalto submitted a patch to this effect which I did end up not
using. Thanks anyway!
Emacs 23 introduces `shift-selection-mode', and even turns it on by
default. Therefore, it is fair to assume that users of Emacs 23 will
expect to be able to select a region by holding down shift will moving
the cursor. This conflicts with the use of shifted cursor keys in
Org-mode for other purposes, in particular to "change the item under
the cursor", like it is done for time stamps, item bullet types, TODO
keywords and priorities.
This commit tries to support `shift-selection-mode' as much as possible,
while retaining these valuable commands keys for Org-mode. The
following things are changed:
1. The range of contexts where Org's commands do act is reduced.
- S-up and S-down no longer jump to the previous and next plain list
item - you can use the paragraph commands C-up and C-down for this
quite well.
- S-left and S-right only change the bullet type of a plain list
item when the cursor is *exactly* on the bullet, not just anywhere
in the item line.
2. When a S-cursor key is used outside a special context, a region is
started or extended.
3. When a region has already been started, it will be continue to
extend even if the S-cursor keys move the cursor into a special
context.
4. If you want S-cursor selection to work in headlines as well, you
can set the variable `org-support-shift-select' to
`even-in-headlines'. Then you need to rely on `C-c C-t' to set
TODO keywords, and on `C-c ,' to set priorities.
If you want everything to behave the way it was, set
`org-support-shift-select' to nil.
The variable `org-blank-before-new-entry' regulates if Org should
insert a blank line before a new entry, when making a new headline or
plain list item. Up to now, the possible values in each case where t
or nil, i.e. unconditionally do or don't insert a blank line.
Now each setting can also be `auto'. If this is the case, Org will
look if the current entry, of which the command creates a sibling,
does have a blank line before it. If yes, it will also make a blank
line. If not, it will not. This seems so useful that I have made
this behavior the default.
This commit removes some of the stuff that was specific for the LaTeX
exporter, and falls back to the default configuration that works for
all backends.
Here is what the commit does:
- The variable `org-export-latex-remove-from-headlines' is now
obsolete. Instead, also LaTeX export now responds to the settings
in the variables org-export-with-todo-keywords',
`org-export-with-priority', and `org-export-with-tags' and in the
corresponding OPTION settings.
- Removal of time stamps and related keywords now already happens in
the preprocessor, so that it will be perfectly the same for all
backends.
- The list functions have been extended to accept an additional
parameter list, to overrule the default setting for a particular
list function. This is used to make the checkbox appearance in
LaTeX configurable, through the new variable
`org-export-latex-list-parameters'.
This cleans up the implementation of the timer. Most important change
is that, after starting a time list with `C-c C-x -', you can then
simply use M-RET to add new items, which is addictive!
This patch introduces a new variable,
`org-list-two-spaces-after-bullet-regexp'. It can be a regular
expression matching plain list bullets. When it matches, changing the
bullet type will introduce two spaces instead of one after each
bullet.
For example,
(setq org-list-two-spaces-after-bullet-regexp "[.)]")
will make two spaces after "1." and "1)".
