i think (*) the current "master" branch allows you to type "- fu<RET>-<TAB> *bar" (where the " *" bit means "zero or more spaces"). but, i guess because of folding, it's that sensitive, doesn't cycle when any non-blank is typed. (it might be nice if "- fu<RET><TAB>" moved you back to alignment with the previous line.) cheers, Greg (*) i.e., "it works for me".
