Continue list markup on newline

[cAttte]

description

a very nice and important quality-of-life feature is the continuation of list-like markup elements on newlines, the same way that e.g. indentation is continued in code mode. (update: this shortcut should not apply when Shift+Enter is pressed). refer to the following visual explanation:

- hi hello|

presses enter →

- hi hello
- |

(update) presses shift+enter instead →

- hi hello
|

every markup editor does this, therefore it must be good. this should also work on enums + (n. syntax shouldn't be too difficult), on terms /, and on arbitrarily nested combinations thereof. see CodeMirror's insertNewlineContinueMarkup() for a potential implementation.

use case

so i can type less

I tend to dislike this feature as it can get very annoying when writing non-tight lists. I'm okay with typing "- " manually if this means I don't have to remove "smartly" auto-inserted text.

though i believe you happen to be in the minority (and when two things are equally bad for two groups of people, the bigger group should win), your use case can still be accounted for by making Shift+Enter a plain, non-continuing newline. this is how it works in every markup editor i tested (GitHub, VS Code, Notion, CodeMirror). additionally you could make it so that a single Backspace erases one level of list nesting; see CodeMirror's deleteMarkupBackward()
