pansovic 70 Posted October 7, 2020 Share Posted October 7, 2020 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.

0 pansovic 70 Posted October 8, 2020 Author Share Posted October 8, 2020 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? Link to comment

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 Link to comment
0 pansovic 70 Posted October 8, 2020 Author Share Posted October 8, 2020 I see. OK, can be useful. Thank´s for pointing out. Link to comment
0 Level 5 PinkElephant 8,785 Posted October 8, 2020 Level 5 Share Posted October 8, 2020 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. 1 1 Link to comment

0 nonobio 40 Posted November 19, 2020 Share Posted November 19, 2020 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 Link to comment

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 ? Link to comment

0 Don Dz 165 Posted November 19, 2020 Share Posted November 19, 2020 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. Link to comment

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. 12 hours ago, Mike P said: 15 hours ago, Mike P said: You can add a space before if you are at the beginning of a line 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. Link to comment

0 nonobio 40 Posted December 23, 2020 Share Posted December 23, 2020 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. Link to comment

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.
