New User Questions/Request

[Rob Bartel]

I've owned and been using Omnioutliner for a few months now, but have 
been using it hard for the past few days (on a design task in my 
software engineering profession) and have an observation, a question, 
and a couple of passionate requests:

0) I LOVE this tool. I've missed MORE dreadfully since it went away, 
(although it's still available last I checked, for free but the same 
version as worked in OS 7.5 or thereabouts...) After I moved to OS X I 
was quite happy to find OmniOutliner and love using (and looking at) it.

1) I sent a (relatively minor) "array out of bounds" bug report to 
omnioutliner at omnigroup.com. Should I not expect a reply, or is this a 
black hole?

2) Please, please, can the behavior of "Return" be changed so that it 
inserts at the next visible line, not the next line at the same level? 
MORE worked this way, and I'm tearing my hair out everytime I want to 
add an item at the top of a subtree. If a headline is collapsed, and is 
the current "insertion point" then it should insert a new headline at 
the same level. If it is expanded then it should insert a sub-headline 
as the first sub-headline of the list. Maybe there's a way to do this 
I've missed, but couldn't find any reference to it. In any event, this 
seems to me to be the intuitive behavior. I have discovered shift-return 
to insert a headline above the current headline, but I'd still like this 
"next visible line" behavior.

3) Are there keyboard shortcuts for moving headlines up or down? If I 
remember right, MORE had them (because my subconcious keeps trying to do 
it with shift-uparrow or shift-downarrow) but I haven't discovered them 
yet for Omnioutliner. I'm not anti-mouse dragging, but this is something 
I do a lot during the brainstorming phase, and I'd really like to be 
able to move headlines up and down from the keyboard, analogous to the 
way I can move them in and out with tab.
