(Archived) Auto create To Do List

[psionmark 73]

I don't think this is possible at the moment, but I'd love to be able to add a plain text list to a note, e.g.

Item 1

Item 2

Item 3

then be able to highlight them, click the magic button and watch it add a tick box at the start of each line. I always seem to be getting long lists of stuff to do and it'd be great to be able to create an auto To Do list like this rather than having to manually add one at the start of each line.

You can sort of do this now in the Evernote for Windows client.

If you start a line with a checkbox then when you press Enter the next line will be prefixed with a checkbox.

Double Enter clears the behavior.

Hi Owyn and thanks for the response. I'm aware that you can do this for manually added items, but I'd really like to do it with a pre-existing chunk of text that I've copied to a note.

Yep. Understood.
