Lists should autocomplete on return

[markmals]

When you start a list (using *, -, +, or a number followed by a period), type an item, and hit return the editor should (at least have the option to) autocomplete a new list element for the next line.

For instance, if I type * Milk and hit return, the next line should immediately have a * and a space so I can easily continue adding to the list. Same for ordinal lists; the next line should have the next number in sequential order.

Additionally, if I hit return again, it should remove the * space it inserted and return again, discontinuing the list.

Not sure if I should open a new issue or not, but as it seems related I'll leave it here:

I'd love to be able to change the list level (indent / outdent) with a Tab. The way I'm imagining it is: I select two or more lines, hit Tab and the selected lines will be prepended a tab character (or n spaces, depending on the settings possibly). When I hit Shift+Tab and the line begins with a tab character (or spaces), they should be removed.

Let me know if I should open a separate issue for that. Thanks for the amazing product!

I agree with both comments, the autocomplete/keyboard shortcuts around lists needs to be improved. I'll put these features on my todo list.

Thank you, yes. I'd like to see the autocomplete work on return, as well as easy keystrokes to turn selected text into an ordered or unordered list. On my old markdown editor MacDown, it was ⌘+shift+O or ⌘+shift+U. Thanks for considering. BTW this editor shows great promise in its current state! Looking forward to seeing updates.
