I’ve come to realize that having ‘auto splitting list items’ actually doesn’t interfere with the behavior I defined in any problematic way.
And I apologize about the angry tone I took in reply #3. That was uncalled for and poorly thought through.
You can still, with a single backspace press, get back into your previous list item after pressing enter (when enter causes a list item split). The only tricky part is that it might not be entirely obvious anymore how to create a nested list. But if we take the approach proposed in issue 70, and disallow creating a directly nested list, and if that is tried in a list item that’s not the first item, to automatically join that item with the one above (creating the more typical structure of a list item with first a paragraph, and then a nested list).
