Awesome post! How many flame wars are you going to start in one day???
We could easily take down the listserv. Don't you know there are
iron-clad pseudoscientific anecdotes which prove Qwerty causes carpal
tunnel? Certainly not emacs (/me types in dvorak with no symptoms since
'95).
On topic: Iirc hotspot is on by default. It is pretty simple: on an
outline bullet, the navigation keystrokes apply among outline bullets
(parents, sibs, etc.) instead of to characters, so you can navigate with
a single keystrokes.
I don't expect to convert you to emacs, just go ahead and suffer in vi
(fan, fan, those glowing embers), but for the emacs elite (fan, fan,
fan, fan) here are the docs (M-x describe-mode):
HOT-SPOT Operation
Hot-spot operation provides a means for easy, single-keystroke outline
navigation and exposure control.
When the text cursor is positioned directly on the bullet character of
a topic, regular characters (a to z) invoke the commands of the
corresponding allout-mode keymap control chars. For example, "f"
would invoke the command typically bound to "C-c<space>C-f"
(C-c SPC C-f `allout-forward-current-level').
Thus, by positioning the cursor on a topic bullet, you can
execute the outline navigation and manipulation commands with a
single keystroke. Regular navigation keys (eg, C-f, C-n) don't get
this special translation, so you can use them to get out of the
hot-spot and back to normal editing operation.
In allout-mode, the normal beginning-of-line command (C-a) is
replaced with one that makes it easy to get to the hot-spot. If you
repeat it immediately it cycles (if `allout-beginning-of-line-cycles'
is set) to the beginning of the item and then, if you hit it again
immediately, to the hot-spot. Similarly,
`allout-beginning-of-current-entry'
(C-c SPC C-a) moves to the hot-spot when the cursor is already located
at the beginning of the current entry.
