I just discovered the very handy C-* function -- I've been converting
lists to headlines manually! But I also discovered a couple of bugs:
If I select a region containing a plain list and then type C-*, org mode
adds the leading stars but doesn't remove the plain list symbols, for
example, this:
* headline
- list 1
- list 2
is converted to this:
* headline
*** - list 1
*** - list 2
Also, if I'm at the end of a file so that the region can't be extended
beyond the end of the last item in the list, then that item isn't
converted. In other words, I get this:
* headline
*** - list 1
- list 2
Thanks,
Scott

Thanks for alerting me to this. I had been using C-c - and then
something like C-u - 5 C-x TAB to get rid of the white space to create
1st level headings.
C-* looks to be much more efficient!
There's always something new to learn about org-mode! I updated the
FAQ accordingly. (The new explanation should show up in an hour and a
half.)

I can confirm this behavior. When using C-* on a single headline, the
plain list bullet is removed. When using C-* on a region of headlines,
the plain list bullets remain.

I believe we've incorrectly typed the keybinding for org-ctrl-c-star.
In the previous posts and subject line, "C-*" should be "C-c *".
Best,
Matt

Yup, it's C-c *. Thanks for updating the FAQ so quickly!

Hi,
following this thread, I have revisited the commands
`C-c -' and `C-c *' and hope that they are now better
behaved and more useful:
If there is an active region, these commands will act on the
region, otherwise on the current line.
C-c -
This command turns headings or normal lines into
items, or items into normal lines. When there is a
region, everything depends on the first line of the
region:
- if it is a item, turn all items in the region into
normal lines.
- if it is a headline, turn all headlines in the region
into items.
- if it is a normal line, turn all lines into items.
- special case: if there is no active region and the
current line is an item, cycle the bullet type of the
current list.
C-c *
This command turns items and normal lines into
headings, or headings into normal lines. When there is
a region, everything depends on the first line of the
region:
- if it is a item, turn all items in the region into
headlines.
- if it is a headline, turn all headlines in the region
into normal lines.
- if it is a normal line, turn all lines into headlines.
I hope these commands a now more consistent and better.
- Carsten

Thanks, Carsten.
Not only is this a bug fix, it's a nice improvement that increases
consistency with other org operations. I think it's fine touches like
this that make org mode so intuitive.
