Hi!

I'm having two problems with checkboxes:

1. They're hard to navigate to. =C2=A0I have a task with 4 checkboxed =C2=A0 sub-items, and it's very fiddly getting my cursor in position t= o
=C2=A0 check them off. =C2=A0Is there a trick for this?


From anywhere on the line/item contain= ing the checkbox, C-c C-c toggles the checkbox.
=C2=A0
2. When I have a repeating TODO item with checkbox dependencies, the
=C2=A0 boxes remain checked even when the TODO->DONE auto-rescheduling = event
=C2=A0 happens. =C2=A0Is there a way to get tehm unchecked?


Highlight the whole region (from first= one, C-space, then navigate to last one) and do C-c C-x C-b to toggle them= all (assuming that the first one is done and you want them all reset to un= done).
=C2=A0
Do these = help?


John
