Hi,

First time poster and recently started using org-mode and= so far enjoying it :)

One nag I do have though is how moving of basic lists are= handled.
I constantly bump into "First item of list cannot move without its subtre= e"

Is there a way to avoid this error and instead be given t= he option to say "Please just move it up to the next level" ?

What I often have is that I during a meeting or brain dum= p do this:

* Some important =
topic
  - idea 1, some notes
  - idea 2, another note
  - idea 3, a third note

And then I go over these and I use the shift/alt+keys to = reorder the ideas up and down and eventually I would like to do this:

=

* Some important =
topic
  - idea 1, some notes
  ** TODO idea 2, another note
  - idea 3, a third note

I know I can press a short cut to make it a top item, but= why can't I just use the normal standard tree editing keys ?

Is there a way to have org-mode ask what kind of thing it= should do when I move the lists "out-of-bounds" instead
of just error out on me ?

Thank you,
/max
