Please improve handling of bulleted lists, and add better way of nesting/unnesting

[Hermholtz]

It's hard to work with multi-level bulleted lists in Bento. There are multiple issues:

• The list behaves differently when entered initially (looks like "draft mode") vs when the text box loses focus (only then it's "hardened" and converted into a proper bulleted list), Could we possibly skip the "draft mode", use the target styles from the beginning, and as soon as I press * <space> as the first characters in the line (possibly prepended by spaces/tabs) it already makes it into the proper list? And then add bullet after "Enter" without the need to clicking away and returning to the text box? I'm not sure I'm clear with this description, therefore below you'll find the screencast with the issue.

• You need to type spaces to create a nested (indented) list, but you may end up with two bullets in the first line like shown below.

• Once you get a bullet point at a certain level, there's no tool to nest/unnest (indent/dedent) it easily, especially when the text is already there, it needs a lot of effort to change this. Ideally it would handle "Tab" key for indenting a level, and "Shift+Tab" for outdenting.

Thanks in advance.

An update on this: Tab / Shift+Tab to indent and outdent shipped in 1.2.8, and 1.2.11 (out now, with 1.2.12 on top) adds Indent and Outdent buttons to the formatting bar. Nested lists now also survive the trip to PowerPoint and back. Your first point, the list only becoming a proper list once the text box loses focus, isn't changed yet; I'll keep this open for it.
