Shortcut to move vertically between bullets
Looking at long to-do list is daunting. I would like to just click open the top most item on my to-do list and once I'm done with an item I would want to click a button or shortcut to move to the next bullet on my to-do list. This way I could execute my tasks one by one with a momentum instead of getting overwhelmed by the amount of tasks or end up task hopping.

Hi Frank. I read Joel's request as referring to the following workflow:
- Zoom in on a particular to-do item
- Do it.
- Zoom out.
- Move down to the next item.
- Zoom in on it.
IIUC Joel is proposing a single command that would combine steps 3,4, and 5 with one keystroke instead of three.
As a newcomer, my first impression was that the proposed command would replace five keystrokes, because my first instinct was to Expand before zooming in and Collapse after zooming out, but as I play with it I see that Zooming in and out makes Expand and Collapse unnecessary, so seems less pressing from my perspective (not necessarily from Joel's).

Thanks, Frank, indeed that does it! For discoverability, perhaps instead of "Jump to next/previous sibling" which sounds like the sibling of the bullet where the cursor is located (as is typical), the keyboard shortcut text could be "Jump to next/previous header sibling" (or whatever the correct Wordflowy terminology is) ?

Apologies if this is bikeshedding, but since beginner eyes can be useful but are short-lived: "zoomed-in sibling" still seems unclear about what level of bullet is meant, I guess because it still sounds like the next sibling of the current bullet, that you can see in the zoom. This variation may be too wordy for the keyboard shortcut display, but "...sibling of zoomed bullet" or even "...sibling of zoom" ? (That last one sounds like a movie franchise!)
