Bug: In list with checkboxes, meta-RET should add a checkbox for the next entry. [7.9.2 (7.9.2-dist @ /usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/org/)]

Bug: In list with checkboxes, meta-RET should add a checkbox for the next entry. [7.9.2 (7.9.2-dist @ /usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/org/)]

[Arne Babenhauserheide]

Remember to cover the basics, that is, what you expected to happen and
what in fact did happen.  You don't know how to make a good report?  See

     http://orgmode.org/manual/Feedback.html#Feedback

Your bug report will be posted to the Org-mode mailing list.
------------------------------------------------------------------------

If you have such a list:

- [ ] Wäsche aufhängen
- [ ] Bad putzen ($)

with the cursor at ($) and you hit M-RET, you get a new list entry without checkbox.

- [ ] Wäsche aufhängen
- [ ] Bad putzen
- ($)

And I find myself all the time hitting M-RET and then adding "[ ] " by hand.

So I would love to see org-mode adding the checkbox by default, when I am on a list entry which has a checkbox.

Best wishes,
Arne

Try S-M-RET.

This is consistent with the behavior of M-RET and S-M-RET on headlines,
which see.

Oh, nice!

Thank you for your answer!

Hi all,

If I am adding an item to a plain list, almost always I want the added item
to agree with the item beneath which it will occur on the presence of
checkboxes.

So, I think that it would be more useful were M-RET to create a new item
that has or does not have a checkbox present depending on whether it is
invoked in a plain list item with or without a checkbox. Likewise S-M-RET
could differ from the item at which is called with respect to checkbox
presence.

The downsides are this behaviour is more complex and likely would disturb
some orgers' muscle memories. So, I'm not pushing hard but throwing it out
there to see if it sticks :-)

Best,

Brian vdB

I tend to agree, but you'd have to convince users that M-RET should
also insert TODO keywords when creating new headlines, which is not
as obvious I think.
