I've been following this thread and there has been some great
discussion about future plans for re-write and context-sensitive
functionality. In the mean time, can we revert the C-RET behavior back
to adding a new headline? I'm finding it incredibly frustration to
have no way to just add a new headline below the current contents of a
headline, even if it's folded. I'm adding some individuals to my
contact file and have no way to just M-RET or C-RET to add a new
headline quickly except to navigate and manually type a series of *'s.

If we could return one of these to the "old" functionality, that would
be great. (Or a recommended new way to just add a headline vs.
transforming the last line into a header.)


Thanks,
John
