I am moving off of another app call hnb that did outlining. I prefer org mode to hnb but there things that I miss from hnb. One of them was that check list would display status. For instance, if I had the list... [_] Stooges [_] Larry [_] Curly [_] Moe ... and I check one entry, say Moe, the Stooges line would also get updated like so... 33% Stooges [_] Larry [_] Curly [X] Moe And then I could collapse Stooges and still have a feel for what's left. Likewise, I could then add an entry 'Shemp' under stooges and the percentage would change to 25% automatically. For the case of multiple nesting it would just blinding could all check boxes under it. 20% Stooges <<< 1 out of 5 check box entries [_] Fine [_] Larry 50% Howard [_] Curly [X] Moe Also, at any point I could just go and check Stooges, regardless of the state of the entries under it. Is there a similar feature in org that I haven't found yet? If not would it be difficult to add something like it. Maybe even something explicit where I could type ... - [%] Stooges - [_] Larry - [_] Curly - [_] Moe ... and then org would add/update the percentage before the '%'.?
