Support more checkbox statuses
Apart from the currently supported statuses [ ]
(open), [x]
(checked), [@]
(ongoing), and [~]
(obsolete), there might be more useful ones.
I think the overall number of statuses should be limited, just so that they can still be memorized relatively easily. To me, there shouldn’t be more than 5 or 6 overall, which – next to the existing ones – would leave room for 1–2 more.
The purpose of this issue is to collect and maintain an overview of potential candidates.
Purpose | Symbol Ideas | |
---|---|---|
“unclear”, “questioned” | [?] |

“paused”, “on hold” | [.] |

Note: the requirements for a symbol are:
- It should be somewhat self-explanatory
- It should be language-agnostic, so it should be a symbol, not e.g. the first letter of an English word
- If ever possible, it should be an ASCII character, to ensure that it’s easy to type on every keyboard
- There should only be one canonical symbol per status, so no “aliases”
