It makes sense if I have cursor at end of line like

- line
     ^

and <cr> gives me a new list item

But when I have cursor at any other place, makes a new item as well, which is unexpected, not sure if this is by design, but I instinctively just want to split the line into a new line

like

- line
    ^

turns into

- lin
- e
  ^

does that makes sense? I am also fine if this is not in scope or not consistent with the design idea.
