Say I have a bulleted list with check boxes:
- [ ] Eggs
- [x] Bacon
- [ ] Butter
If I apply the “Toggle numbered list” command to this. The hyphens are replaced with numbers, but the check boxes are also removed.
1. Eggs
1. Bacon
1. Butter
Likewise, if I have a numbered list with checkboxes…
1. [ ] Eggs
2. [x] Bacon
3. [ ] Butter
…and apply the toggle bullet list command, it replaces the numbered list with a bulleted list but also removed the check boxes.
- Eggs
- Bacon
- Butter
This is frustrating as not only do I loose the check boxes, but also what items I had checked off or not.
There also does not appear to be an automatic way to remove a checkbox from a bulleted or numbered list item while keeping the number or bullets. Say I start with a bulleted list with check boxes
- [ ] Eggs
- [x] Bacon
- [ ] Butter
I’d like a “toggle checkboxes” command which add or removes the checkboxes, but keeps the bullets or numbers.
- Eggs
- Bacon
- Butter
Does anyone else find these toggle commands in Obsidian confusing?
Maybe I’m biased because I’m coming from using Dynalist where there are distinct and separate commands for number children/stop numbering children, add/remove checkbox, and check off/uncheck.
