In the previous version of Obsidian you could use the command + enter to create a checkbox. In the new version this no longer works. Not sure if this is a bug or intended. I am using a Mac. If not a bug, how can create check boxes via a shortcut?
Toggle still works the same. Please advise.
Moved to help
You can use Templater to assign a shortcut to your template. This template can include text, markdown formatting code or both. You can pin commands in Command palette. Then you can just press cmd/ctrl + p and click to insert your template. Thereās also a command to open a dialog box where you can pick a template of your choice.
There is option to add a hotkey for creating a checkbox? I am not looking to add a template, I just want to add a checkbox. It used to work with the previous version. Did they remove it?

Again, that DOES NOT create a checkbox. That allow yo to toggle them on and off and move through them. I need to CREATE one. Before cmd+enter created them.
This features is now gone or is it a bug???
How can you add the following:
| Command | Hotkey |
|---|---|
| Create Checkbox | Cmd + Enter |
It was changed. Ctrl+L works for me.

The default hotkey for āToggle checkbox statusā has been changed to CtrlL (or āL on MacOS). CtrlEnter is now the default hotkey for opening links under the cursor in a new tab. You can change these hotkeys in settings.
Me too, I sometimes come across the problem that I simply would like to type the Markdown code for a checkbox and find the keyboard shortcuts not completely adequate for my flow of thinking ā you have to first type the text/entry/to do then the keyboard shortcut, which makes you change your fingersā position. My solution is through a Typinator snippet :
I can thus type -td (for āTo Doā, obviously) and Typinator types for me - [ ] . Thus my mindflow is not disruptedā¦
My two cents.
I guess Iām misunderstanding the issue. Here, on each new line, Iām running the āToggle checkbox statusā command once.
