Yes sorry, bad indent.

Yes, I know about that one - but I would prefer not having to change to
another set of keys :)
I can do shift arrow left/rigt/up/down for the list item *until* I hit
the top heading.

this is what I do know - just more tedious if shift + arrows could ask
instead of blocking.

shift arrows up/down/left/righit.

Yes, but it would be so convenient it would not just block edit and
require
shifting to completely different keys IMO.

Might be - but seems it fits very naturally to be able to at least allow
to move list items outside its parent.
Don't get me wrong - I like it defaults to stopping, but would prefer
it would ask or let me do shift + left + left to override or something
similar.
