Interesting. I'm not using text shortcuts from Mac though. I'm simply using an application to generate some text that I want to use to create a note in EN. However that text/note needs to include checkboxes.

Sure, I have a little program that I'm writing outside of EN that will spit out something like: [] drink coffee [] do laundry How can I then paste these in without typing them over (or editing each one to make the autoformatting kick in)? I'm wondering if instead I could use the developer API to directly create a note fully, but that seems heavier weight than just cut/paste. (FWIW - I know there are other features inside EN that will allow me to do todos but I have an external system that I'd like to use.)

Is there a way to setup text in a way to paste into Evernote (Mac app) in such a way that checkboxes are created? I know there is an autoformatting feature of including '[]' but that apparently only works if you are typing it in. Perhaps another way to solve this would be to be able to force an "auto-format" on a body of text.
