<CR> not behaving as expected in orgmode

[lyz-code]

With a clean install of LazyVim distribution when pressing <CR> from a heading it creates a new heading instead of moving the cursor to the body of the heading:

* Test <--  press enter in insert mode

The result is:

* Test
* <-- cursor here

The expected behaviour is:

* Test
  <-- cursor here

As the orgmode dev pointed out this happens even without nvim-orgmode installed.

My question then is how do I pinpoint which plugin is the culprit and how to solve it?

Thaanks!

It's because of the formatoptions. If you do :set fo-=r, you will observe the difference. To make the change permanent, you should enforce it with an auto-command. I really have no idea what makes Neovim think that the character * is a comment leader in .org files.

I love you so much right now.... THANK YOU!

For those like me that don't know what :set fo-=r does here is an explanation

You can use the formatoptions option to influence how Vim formats text.
'formatoptionsis a string that can contain any of the letters below. The default setting is "tcq". Theroption automatically inserts the current comment leader after pressing` in Insert mode.

The autocommand can be something like:

vim.api.nvim_create_autocmd("FileType", {
  pattern = "org",
  group = vim.api.nvim_create_augroup("orgmode", { clear = true }),
  callback = function()
    vim.opt.formatoptions:remove({ "r" })
  end,
})
