Continue "Alternative" Checkbox on new line/enter?

[Liquidream]

Hi all,
I’m using “alternate” checkboxes (like this) for various lists in Obsidian.

Is there a setting somewhere that will allow Obsidian to continue/re-use the previous “alternate” checkbox?

For example, if I’m building a list of ideas -[I], it would be great if each new line would pre-fill the “I”, rather than resetting back to a normal checkbox.

Thanks in advance.

I’ve not seen any such extension around, not to say that there isn’t any though. I’m usually doing my editing in source mode so that also enables me to use copy-paste for similar editing. Maybe not the optimal solution, but it works for me.

You could possibly also look into either using a plugin like ToggleList (or Tasks) to define cycles of the alternative checkboxes attached to a command so that you could trigger that command some given times to get to your wanted status character.

Yet another option would be to have dedicated commands attached to hotkeys to trigger a given status character. This can be done using something like QuickAdd or User Plugins, or other javascript enabled plugins.
