Force User to Create a List

1

I want users to be constrained to only be able to write lists.

With the default ProseMirror list behavior using splitListItem, hitting enter with an empty list item will break the user out of the list to a paragraph.

Also, hitting backspace at the start of a list will pull a list item out of the list and transform it to a paragraph.

I have replicated the splitListItem function and have made some modifications to prevent the empty list item behavior, and I suspect that I will need to watch for backspace events to prevent the other behavior.

Is there a simpler way to prevent users from breaking out of a list?

Setting up your schema to allow only lists at the top level seems like a good thing to try.

Thank you @marjin! I was really over-complicating it… That worked as expected.
