Hello,
I have a question about plain list checkboxes. If I have a plain list, as
follows:
- [ ] Item 1
- [ ] Sub-item 1
- [ ] Sub-item 2
- [ ] Sub-item 3
when I complete sub-items 1 and 2, the list is as follows:
- [-] Item 1
- [X] Sub-item 1
- [X] Sub-item 2
- [ ] Sub-item 3
Then, if it turns out that Sub-item 3 is unnecessary, I can delete it with C-k:
- [-] Item 1
- [X] Sub-item 1
- [X] Sub-item 2
However, Item 1's checkbox is in the intermediate state, even though all of its
sub-items have been completed.
I'm wondering if there's a way that I can delete Sub-item 3 and update the Item
1 checkbox all at once. Right now, I have to move the cursor back up to Item 1
and hit C-c C-c to force the checkbox to update.
Thanks,
Rohit Patnaik

There is no such way readily available, AFAIK.
You might be able to do with appropriate after-change function, but
such things may cause performance degradation.
Another way might be an advice for org-kill-line (if your C-k is bound
to org-kill-line).

I also noticed that there is no command to remove an item from a plain
list. But I've never needed that functionality.
I made a simple comparison table to better understand the org mode
interface, maybe it will be useful to someone:
| | heading | plain list | table | column view |
|--------------------+----------------+------------+--------------------+--------------------|
| move item left | M-left | M-left | M-left | M-left |
| move item right | M-right | M-right | M-right | M-right |
| move item up | M-up | M-up | M-up | M-up |
| move item down | M-down | M-down | M-down | M-down |
| visibility cycling | TAB | TAB | - | TAB |
| change state | S-[left&right] | C-c C-c | - | - |
|--------------------+----------------+------------+--------------------+--------------------|
| add item | M-RET | M-RET | M-S-down (row) | - |
| | | | M-S-right (column) | M-S-right (column) |
|--------------------+----------------+------------+--------------------+--------------------|
| remove item | C-c C-x C-w | - | M-S-up (row) | - |
| | | | M-S-left (column) | M-S-left (column) |
