Allow non-breaking space in checkbox creation
Context
- When typing out point lists, you can add checkboxes by typing
- [ ]
as the beginning of the line - However, this only works with "pure" spaces, not e.g. Non-breaking spaces, which MacOS inserts if you press option+space
- In many keyboard configurations, the brackets
[]
are on option+number-keys - This means that it is very easy to accidentally insert a non-breaking space while typing out a checkbox, leaving you with a bullet point starting with the text
[ ]
(see illustration)
- This is impossible for the naked eye to spot without checking the preview after every time you write a checkbox
Suggested fix
- [ ] Allow non-breaking-spaces in the definition of checkboxes
