The command M-RET actually does what it's docstring says (insert before
when point is at BOL, split line when it is inside), but there is
inconsistent behaviour when point is at EOL, IMHO. Consider the
following list (or equivalent headline structure), with point after
"aaaa":
- aaaa
+ abbb
+ accc
Using org-insert-heading and entering "bbbb" will produce this:
- aaaa
- bbbb
+ abbb
+ accc
In doing so, the subtree of "aaaa" has been transferred to the new
heading, which is almost never what I want (and could easily be done by
appending the new list or headline text and then splitting the line). I
would expect that the subtree of "aaaa" is considered as a unit when
inserting a new headline with point at EOL (just like all moving
commands would do and the result should be this:
- aaaa
+ abbb
+ accc
- bbbb
Could org-insert-heading be extended to handle this situation as I
outlined?
Regards,
Achim.

By default, M-RET is allowed to split lines, and therefore contents. You
may use the following to achieve the desired effect:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(setq org-M-RET-may-split-line '((item) (default . t)))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Let me re-formulate my request:
If the point is at EOL, there actually is no line to split and it would be far
more logical if the new heading/item would simply be inserted after the
current one (including any subtree that belongs to the current item).

I actually like the ability to split lines with M-RET, especially since
there doesn't seem to be a sane way to tell org that "yes I want to
split the line this time". What I want is that "point at EOL" is
recognized as a special situation, much like "point at BOL" already is.
Regards,
Achim.

Hi Achim,
I use C-RET for inserting new headings and respecting content.
M-RET should NOT respect content in my setup so I think your suggestion
would make that inconsistent.

Bernt

That _only_ works for headings, not items. C-RET always inserts a new
heading (and BTW, it does treat BOL specially, too).

If C-RET was also working on lists like M-RET does then I might concur
with this view. So maybe the inconsistency is that org-insert-heading
works on list items, but org-insert-heading-respect-content does not?

Achim.

Excepted that, unlike to headlines, EOL is _not_ a special position in
an item. Remember that an headline has to fit on a single line, whereas
an item may span over multiple paragraphs, tables, and even plain lists.
Look at the following example:
#+begin_src org
- first line of the first item
another paragraph in the item
one last paragraph
- second item
#+end_src
If I use M-RET with point between "first" and "item", I get ("|" being
the point):
#+begin_src org
- first line of the first
- |item
another paragraph in the item
one last paragraph
- second item
#+end_src
If I use M-RET with point a word further, that is after "item",
I logically have:
#+begin_src org
- first line of the first item
- |
another paragraph in the item
one last paragraph
- second item
#+end_src
It will be the same if I use M-RET before "another". I can also go on
with point after "another":
#+begin_src org
- first line of the first item
another
- |paragraph in the item
one last paragraph
- second item
#+end_src
It is very predictable, isn't it?
On the other hand, it isn't consistent to allow, at every EOL in the
item, to jump below contents and add a new item there.
Now, perhaps the variable's name is misleading, as it isn't really about
splitting lines, which make no sense in items, but splitting contents.
Note that you can easily obtain what you want with M-RET M-DOWN at
beginning of item, or even write a function to do with even less
keystrokes.
