Recommended Setup
This plugin pairs well with the Sequence Hotkeys plugin, which lets you assign chord (multi-key) shortcuts.
For example, you can bind each checkbox type to Ctrl+Alt+B followed by its decorator character:
| Hotkey | Syntax | Description |
|---|---|---|
Ctrl+Alt+B, | - [ ] | change to unchecked |
Ctrl+Alt+B, x | - [x] | change to done |
Ctrl+Alt+B, / | - [/] | change to incomplete |
Ctrl+Alt+B, - | - [-] | change to canceled |
Ctrl+Alt+B, > | - [>] | change to forwarded |
Ctrl+Alt+B, < | - [<] | change to scheduling |
Ctrl+Alt+B, ? | - [?] | change to question |
Ctrl+Alt+B, ! | - [!] | change to important |
Ctrl+Alt+B, * | - [*] | change to star |
Ctrl+Alt+B, " | - ["] | change to quote |
Ctrl+Alt+B, l | - [l] | change to location |
Ctrl+Alt+B, b | - [b] | change to bookmark |
Ctrl+Alt+B, i | - [i] | change to information |
Ctrl+Alt+B, S | - [S] | change to savings |
Ctrl+Alt+B, I | - [I] | change to idea |
Ctrl+Alt+B, p | - [p] | change to pros |
Ctrl+Alt+B, c | - [c] | change to cons |
Ctrl+Alt+B, f | - [f] | change to fire |
Ctrl+Alt+B, k | - [k] | change to key |
Ctrl+Alt+B, w | - [w] | change to win |
Ctrl+Alt+B, u | - [u] | change to up |
Ctrl+Alt+B, d | - [d] | change to down |
Usage
- Place your cursor on a checkbox line (or select multiple lines).
