merge distinct items in list =enhancement

Current version 6.1.0 This is a common function on other note apps with lists. It is usually implemented with simple backspace/delete.

It can be worked around, but it would be very convenient, and should be easy to implement.

Hi there,

as you stated yourself the same goal is achievable by backspacing text: that's a great example of K.I.S.S. approach where no specific function is needed because the most general one just works. Not having nested lists or complex structures I'd keep things as they are now in relation to this request.

In order to merge 2 adjacent elements in a list, one must

  1. desactivate the list,
  2. remove the return between the 2 items to be merged,
  3. re-activate the list.

Being able to simply backspace on the beginning of the second of the items to be merged, while keeping the list activated, would be a plus. (Like some other note apps.)

I suppose the current functioning could be considered a feature, since it isn't possible to accidently merge 2 items, but for me that isn't a problem.

Got it, actually it used to work exactly like that time ago, maybe something changed and this behavior has not been verified again.

@andr222 I've moved it here because this is the checklist library used to get that feature into Omni Notes
