Add a keyboard shortcut for checkbox (not checklist)

[nonobio 40]

Hello,

In v6, the shortcut CTRL + SHIFT + C added a checkbox.

Now it add a checklist.

I know it is possible to use the "Insert" button or the code [] but it isn't convenient. The first is slow and the second doesn't work well, for instance in a line start.

 

Thanks

Hi !

I really need this too !

With check list, you can't add multiple checkboxes per line, which I often use

 

Thanks !

A great suggestion. Not sure why it wasn't thought of I might try an AHK hot key in the meantime to type

space[]space

Hello,

I created an autotext with PhraseExpress to type [] with a keyboard shortcut but an native evernote shortcut would be better...

A year later and still no shortcut? I use checkboxes much more often than checklists and would really benefit from a shortcut to drop a checkbox in the middle of typing. Come on Evernote

No „Evernote“ here, just other users.

If you want to address something, send feedback through the clients, or a support ticket.

If your cursor is in a place which EN is happy to have a checkbox (ie not at the beginning of a line) the keyboard shortcut is []. That seems to me to be easier to type and remember than any other combination of keys that EN might choose to be a shortcut for checkbox.

Hi!
I need this function too.

Please, add shortcut for checkbox.

Because, if I want to add checkboxes to my ordered list, I could do it with multiple items with one shortcut. I can't do it with [x] formatting.

Also it will be great to make ordered list with checkboxes (mixed list). It was possible to create ordered list and add checboxes in previous Legacy software.

 

Thanks!

There is a slash command for a checkbox but you do have to type a few letters before it will pick a checkbox over the checklist.  AHK could help automate that.
