What is the easiest way to renumber lists?

Hi @SquareBottle,

I wonder if my solution below will help you… almost 1 year since you asked the question! It was bugging me for the past few weeks, so I am sure this solution might help others, too.

Problem:

  • ordered lists in edit mode become frustrating out of order when swapping lines up and down when outlining a document

solution

  • map a hotkey for the function unordered and ordered lists - see @nickmilo’s best practice suggestions - Alt 1 to toggle unordered/ordered lists
  • select text of the entire list
    • image
  • toggle to unordered list, and back again to ordered list - all items are now numbered 1.

    • image
  • move cursor to the beginning of the second item, press delete a few times to delete the number and paragraph, and now press return/make a new line - the entire list will be ordered 1. 2. 3…

best,
