What this says, is that if you start with a + bullet, the next level down will be a - bullet; if you start with a - bullet, the next level down will be a + bullet; if you start with a * bullet, the next level down will be a + bullet. AFAIK, these are taken in LR order, so it will never see the last pair. And the specification of the unicode character is wrong. Try (setq org-list-demote-modify-bullet '(("-" . "→") ("→" . "↑") ("↑" . "↓"))) (I used insert-char interactively C-x 8 RET right arrow RET to get the right arrow and similarly for the up arrow and the down arrow). At least that's what I thought, but it doesn't work as I expected: I get the right arrow as the bullet in the second level, but if I try M-RET, I get a - bullet at first level again and I cannot indent it past second level. I'm probably misunderstanding something. -- Nick
