org-meta-return not on M-RET

org-meta-return not on M-RET

[Allen Li]

When I could not get org-meta-return to work in terminal Emacs, I
realized that org-meta-return is only bound to M-return and not M-RET.
Is there any particular reason for this?

No idea. Fixed. Thank you.

Thanks to both of you: It used to work, then it didn't, only a
few days ago I realised there was a difference between M-RETURN
and M-RET but thought of this as a configuration error and now it
simply works again!

Thanks for the quick fix.

I believe Emacs does intelligent remapping; for example if you type
M-return in GUI Emacs, if there are no bindings for M-return it will
look up the binding for M-RET.  Therefore simply binding M-RET and
removing the M-return binding is "better"/"cleaner".  This is a hugely
trivial nitpick, but I thought I'd point it out

The purpose of the M-RET binding is to allow quick splitting of long
headlines generated during rapid brainstorming e.g.

* Common pets are cats and dogs

Can be quickly converted using M-RET to:

* Common pets are
* cats and
* dogs

This is a short distance from

* Common pets
  * cats
  * dogs

This used to be in the documentation, and I use this function all the
time.  I'd hate to lose it.

I'm not sure to understand your concern.

We are not removing M-RET keybinding, but removing a duplicate binding:
[(meta return)]
