With the org-evil package, normal state > on a headline executes org-evil-demote, but on normal text it executes evil-shift-right. Two questions: (1) How does this work? (2) It would be nice (and probably more appropriate?) if a similar behaviour were bestowed on insert state C-t, and correspondingly on C-d (H-t and H-d in my configuration), such that evil-shift-right-line and ...-left-... would demote and promote headlines when point is on headlines. How might one achieve that?

To get what you want you have to either remap the keys in your init file or modify evil-org. You probably will want to do the former. And I think org-metaleft and org-metaright will do what you want (i.e. either promote or demote header or list item). You just need to set the keys for insert mode. So something like 

(evil-define-key 'insert 'org-mode-map
  "C-t" 'org-metaleft
  "C-d" 'org-metaright)

should do the trick.

  • This looks like it would shift headlines instead of de- and promoting them.
