Describe the bug

TODO lists don't render checkboxes immediately. They only become checkboxes if you navigate to another note then return to the note.

⌘ - T ?

⌘ - T does work; thanks for showing me that. I'll use that from now on, so no urgency on my end to fix this.

For comparison, Bear renders a checkbox when you type - , which is strange behavior in its own way, since I'd expect that to render a bulleted list.

Notion renders a checkbox after typing - [], which is what I was expecting in FSNotes.

Since this is already the case with GitHub and many other GFM editors, I assumed it was a standard feature. According to the spec, it's actually an extension, which I didn't know.

As a developer who works in GitHub/GitLab etc. more often, it is common to use this syntax. Also, you could then easily import GFM Markdown copy/paste so that to-dos are also included correctly
