Executing Mark checkbox on

- [x] this is a **bold** action

incorrectly removes the bold Markdown formatting, resulting in

- [ ] this is a bold action

instead of just unchecking the checkbox and keeping the rest:

- [ ] this is a **bold** action

Environment: Visual Studio Code 1.79.2 on Windows 10, Markdown Checkbox 1.9.0

Footer:
3/4 completed

Either toggling a checkbox with the keyboard shortcut, or opening the modal with the n/N buttom in the bottom bar are both very slow (like, 30s).

(After opening the modal, clicking a checkbox, and then clicking "OK", the file is modified within four seconds--still slow, but ok.)

This is in a Foam workspace with 2643 notes and about 500,000 files overall.

From #32, I'm experimenting with using different types of brackets to have different meaning. So - [ ] is a task that should be executed. While - ( ) is a checkbox, but it's a checklist, that gets completed, then reset for example.

Would you be up for adding such a feature to this plugin?

The status bar information that displays completed tasks/all tasks does not increment if the document uses lowercase 'x' in the check mark.

Example:

[ ]
[x]
[X]

Will only show 1/3 completed in the status bar.

[ ]
[X]
[X]

Will show 2/3 of completed in the status bar.

Particularly I want a timestamp.

Love the extension..

Would love to use this for release procedures. Some features that would help:

• Bullet numbering (after checkbox, before does not render) with numbering reflow
• outline numbering with indenting
• Time stamp control to add time or only have time (similar to #15)
• Preview that allows checking boxes in graphic preview?

I had to uninstall this today; it recently started adding checkboxes apparently without user intervention. This happened a few times. I'm guessing some interaction with VSCode version + Linux Version. Was working fine for a few months before this.

DISREGARD THIS, works find if set the content type to markdown, my apologies. I suppose this could be conflict with something else, but Apple + Shift + c does not insert a checkbox markdown into the document, it doesn't appear to do anything for me.

Is it possible to have an option remove the ~~* surrounding the text when making it checked?

Depending on what font you use the "~" character doesn't always render well.

Markdown Preview in VS Code shows the checkbox, which can be clicked to tick or untick, but this is not updated on the file itself. It'd be helpful to have this feature if it's technically possible.

Thank you for the great plugin.
I found a problem when using the "Date when checked" option. The date is enclosed in square brackets [] which causes VS Code to assume it is the beginning of a link reference, throwing the "No link definition found" warning.
Is it possible to change the brackets to some other characters such as parenthesis () that won't confuse VS Code? If this user configurable, that would be ideal since I could see different linters complaining about different characters; or, just plain different user preferences.

It looks like the date-when-checked doesn't adjust for timezone when determining the date. I get future dates when checking boxes in the evening.

Hey Philipp,
Thanks for making this lovely extension :).

I found a little issue. When unchecking a to-do item whose description contains open brackets (such as in a Markdown link) with leading whitespace, that part is matched and therefore removed. Here's a GIF showing this:

I think this is the line leading to this behaviour:

The set matching the date string could be modified to include any characters except an open bracket. I'm not sure the match should also be lazy, but I added it just in case. It seemed safer to me: \s+\[[^[]+?\]$

Take care of yourself and stay safe,
Simon-Claudius

something like another extension: https://github.com/fabiospampinato/vscode-markdown-todo#usage

a checkbox could be create and delete by typing the same shortcut

Hello PKief,

On Windows 11 I have a strange issue where the CTRL + Shift + c keybinding works fine, but the CTRL + Shift + Enter keybinding does not work.

I'm new to VS Code / VS Codium so it might be user error. I do not have any custom keybindings and the only change I have made to VS Codium is the theme.

I also tried to rename my C:\Users<username>\AppData\Roaming\VSCodium directory to .old as well as my C:\Users<username>.vscode-oss to .old thinking a full reset of VS Codium may fix the issue. However, I still have the same issue after reinstalling the extensions.

Any tips would be much appreciated. Great extension BTW!

Thanks!

Hi there,

I really like using your extension. But I also like a clean status bar and I was missing an option to disable the checkbox info there. Is this something you could consider for a future version? 🙏

When toggling a checkbox, remaining whitespace not respected and removed.
Please note the whitespace on first lines!

This

- [ ] Checkbox  
  This is on second line
- [ ] Checkbox

become this when toggle the first Checkbox

- [ ] Checkbox [2019-03-03]
  This is on second line
- [ ] Checkbox

Command 'Markdown: Pick checkboxes' resulted in error (command 'markdown-checkbox.showQuickPick' not found)

There is already a comment on the vsc marketplace about this.

complete action has a timestamp, but there is no timestamp when the checkbox is created.

if a create tmestamp is there , I can roughly know how long the TODO item take.

I am not a JS developer, so if this feature can be done, that will be great ;)

I really enjoy using this extension, not only for simple to-do lists but also for "decision" lists. I start these lists by enumerating all the options I have and then I consider every single option in detail. What I now miss sometimes is a third state to distinguish between "unconsidered yet" and "rejected". I fully understand if this was not your intention, but maybe a third state is valuable in other use cases as well :-)

First - Love the extension!

Title explains it all. Would love to have the ability to mark multiple lines as checkboxes/toggle checkboxes, based on selection :)

It would be awesome when the checkbox mark can be configured in lower- and upper-case to support formatting styles with Prettier.

Unchecked the option to create a bullet point in both user and workspace settings, but it gets created anyway.
