A simple minimalistic plugin to help dealing with custom checkbox statuses.

[!TIP]

The Add Task Status command can be used to add or change task statuses!

  • Active line is empty: A new task with the selected status is created
  • Active line contains a task: The task status is changed to the selected status
  • Lines of text are selected: All tasks within the text are changed to the selected status

Settings

The settings allow to disable inline-autocompletion and to customize the list of suggested task-statuses.
