Checkbox

[pansovic 70]

In the previous version when I had a checkbox and type and press enter automatically appears another checkbox and can easily add the second item. 

Now after enter it´s without a new checkbox so you have to add for each line manually a new checkbox. 

Quite an hassle.

You might want to switch to the new Checklist feature

Ups, what do you mean with the "new Checklist feature"?

Awesome. Thanks for pointing out. Is it not confusing to have two options for a checkbox, or does the checkbox in the Insert menu has a different function?

They look quite different. Some people hate the crossing out of the new checklist while I like it. I should imagine going forward most people will use the new checklist because it is more obvious on the edit menu and being a list you get the really nice ability to reorder the list by drag and drop.

One is a checkbox, useable anywhere in your text   
The other is a list  
- checkboxes replace bullets    
- drag and drop
- when checked, the contents get strikethru

I see. OK, can be useful. 

Thank´s for pointing out.

There is one more aspect: With checklists, there is one box per line, and always at the front of the text. This is fine for stuff like a ToDo-list. I really like the strikeout-feature ("Take that, evil task !")

Checkboxes can be freely placed, mixed with text, and there can be more than just one in a line. So it is possible to build sort of a form, not only a list. Maybe nice for templates of more complex checklists, that do not follow a linear logic.

Yes, it makes sense. A useful feature. Thanks.

Hello,

While checklists can be useful, i miss a lot checkbox. It is one of the feature i use the most on evernote : everywhere i want, on the same ligne or multiple box following.

Is it possible to use them again or are they definitively gone ?

Thanks

Checkbox is still there. It's under the blue Insert button towards the top right of a note.

Or you can still type <open square bracket><close square bracket> provided you are not at the beginning of a line. You can add a space before if you are at the beginning of a line

Thanks for your tips.

But i was used to use the shortcut CTRL + SHIFT + C but is is now assigned to Checklist. Is there another shortcut ?

And if i insert a checkbox and type a word, after typing Enter : the checkbox is converted to checklist  . Is it possible to avoid that ?

I don't think so.... just hit backspace and it removes the checklist box on the new line.

The only thing I don't like is the automatic indent of checklists, I use checkboxes a lot in tables and the automatic indent is impractical in that context.

Yes it works : i have to hit backspace then enter and this second time, the checkbox isn't converter. I also found a quicker way : using Shift + Enter does the same thing.

But it isn't coneviant for me. Shift + Enter is quick, ok, but i miss a quick way (shortcut) to add a checkbox.

Ok but even if i use the space then <open square bracket><close square bracket>, the checkbox isn't aligned to the precedent line  

Maybe i could use Checklist instead of Checkbox if text wasn't automaticly strikethrough.

An option to enable/disable strikethrough on check could be useful.

Nice find. Thankyou.

HI

I hoped there will be a shortcut for checkbox with last version 10.4.4.55 : there isn't  .

The absence of checkbox shortcut is the most annoying for me. I hope it will be added.
