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.

Hi all,

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

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 in= voked in a plain list item with or without a checkbox. Likewise S-M-RET cou= ld differ from the item at which is called with respect to checkbox presenc= e.

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

Best,

Brian vdB
