Please consider changing the "new list item" hotkey about markdown-mode HOT 9 CLOSED

Thanks for this suggestion. Actually, I picked M-RET originally because that's what I use in AUCTeX for inserting items. Now I see that it is an alias for C-c C-j. I see the logic in using C-c C-j for new list items, but the problem is that in markdown-mode C-c C-j is used for jumping in various contexts (footnote markers and definitions, reference links and definitions, etc.). We'd have to find a better keybinding for that--suggestions?

@jrblevin I think "jumping" would be rather well represented by the often common "next" and "previous" hotkeys.

I suppose you already use C-n and C-p for another purpose? What about C-c C-n and C-c C-p?

I hope this request doesn't disrupt the workflow of your current users. I'm just a newcomer with a wishlist ;-)

I've been thinking again about a possible new keybinding for markdown-jump (currently C-c C-j). Here are some free ones under C-c C-?:

• C-c C-r (for return)
• C-c C-v (for visit)
• C-c C-l (any good mnemonic here?)
• C-c C-d (any good mnemonic here?)

Another option: Emacs uses both M-j and C-M-j for comment-indent-new-line. Perhaps we could override C-M-j (for jump)? Does anyone use C-M-j for this instead of M-j?

• C-c C-l
  How about Loop? I think it's more in tune with the semantics than the ones above. Does the feature actually loop, after reaching the last section?

My suggestion is: does latex-mode or AucTex have a similar feature, to jump between sections? If so, you could use the same keybinding as well.

Thanks for the mnemonic suggestion. I thought about AUCTeX, etc., but I couldn't think of any similar behavior. I should say this command doesn't jump between sections, rather, between reference link or footnote markers in text and their definitions below. For example, it will jump back and forth between line 1 and 3 for the reference link below.

EDIT: I guess instead of "jump" with C-c C-l we could think of leap :)

Sorry for that, I just confirmed the bejavior in the docs after commenting. But since it does go back and forth, "loop" would be an usable mnenomic, right?

from markdown-mode.

Sure. Now that I think about it, with C-c C-d we have definition, jumping between the link/footnote and the definition.

OK, here you go: 3bf565b. I do think C-c C-j is good for inserting list items, since there is clear precedence for it. I moved markdown-jump to C-c C-l. The other nice thing about that one is that it's adjacent to C-c C-o which can be used to follow/browse/open reference links (as opposed to visiting their definitions). Sorry it took me several months to finally decide on an alternative keybinding!
