Current behavior

When typing out a unordered list (- item 1), if I hit enter and then tab, it moves the cursor to the right, but leaves the list sublevel the same.

Expected behavior

In Boostnote original (and most markdown editors), hitting tab after a newline should indent the list to the right and make it a "sub list".

Interesting, the common way to unindent a list (shift-tab) does work as expected, in that it moves the list level back by one.

Steps to reproduce

  1. Start an unordered list (- item1)
  2. Hit enter
  3. Before entering any other text, hit TAB

Environment

Desktop/Web

  • Boost Note.next version: 0.9.0
  • OS version and name: Mac 10.15.7
