How can I skip to next heading in org-mode?
Say This is my org-file, pipe indicates the cursor:
* Top
** Apple|
** Banana
** Cherry
I'd like to run a command and have my cursor now be here:
* Top
** Apple
** Banana|
** Cherry

Hi Alex. Did this answer address your question? – Malabarba Mar 28 '15 at 23:55

org-next-item is the built-in way to move forward in a plain list. However, a plain list in org-mode actually looks like:
* here's the headline
- An item
- Another item
- Another item
The example you give is of headlines:
* Top
** Apple
** Banana
** Cherry
To move forward to the next headline, you can use org-forward-heading-same-level (default C-c C-f). Also, since org-mode is built on top of outline-mode, you can also use the outline motion commands such as outline-next-visible-heading (default C-c C-n). Note that org-forward-heading-same-level takes over for outline-forward-same-level, and there's also outline-next-heading that is not bound to a key combination by default.

1+1 Maybe mention default bindings for the commands you list? `C-c C-f` for `org-forward-heading-same-level`, etc. – itsjeyd Nov 09 '14 at 12:50

Good suggestion. Done -- along with a link to the keybindings for `outline-mode`. – Dan Nov 09 '14 at 15:13
