Ahh now I understand you. Re-reading your posts in the morning helped me see what you are saying.
I think to restate my request in a simpler way, what I want is to reassign the tab key to insert asterisks instead of whatever it does now in TiddlyWiki. (or : or | but * has the advantage of already doing what I want it to do). In other words, I want to hit a tab key once, twice or more within a line to add bullets rather than go back and select and hit editor buttons. A second but less necessary tweak would be tweaking the enter key so that it does a new line but also adds an asterisk. That way I could finish a line, hit enter, and be on the next bullet point, then add additional bullets with tab. If I wanted a line without a bullet I could just backspace after using enter to start the new line. Does this make sense?
