Need a hotkey for "Toggle bullet | checkbox"

Open OnkelTem opened this issue 2 years ago • 1 comments

By default HK++ provides Ctrl-M hotkey to Toggle to-do lists. What it does is cycling through states:

  • bullet
  • checkbox: unchecked
  • checkbox: checked

I believe it has been created before the similar function was added to Obsidian, because the built-in Cycle bullet/checkbox hotkey is doing exactly the same now.

At then, there is also another built-in function called Toggle checkbox status which works exactly as declared, cycling though:

  • checkboxed unchecked
  • checkboxed checked

As you see, the first two are doing what the second can do. Yet, there is no function which cycles through:

  • bullet
  • checkbox (unchecked)

Here is a ticket I created just now: https://forum.obsidian.md/t/add-toggle-bullet-checkbox-hotkey/35186 There I propose to add the missing Toggle bullet/checkbox hotkey. In the meantime, is it possible for HK++ plugin to fill this gap? In my opinion, it can be done it two ways:

  • Change "Toggle to-do lists" hotkey behavior
  • Add a new hotkey.

Thanks in advance!

Happy to get a PR on this since I won't have time to implement this
