Task States

Toggle task states by clicking the task checkbox.

Features

  • Cycles task states with a single checkbox click.
  • Works in Reading view, Live Preview, and Source mode.
  • Preserves Markdown task syntax directly in the note file.
  • Supports task list bullets -, *, and +.
  • Supports nested tasks and blockquote task lines.

State Cycle

  • [ ] TODO
  • [*] STANDBY
  • [x] DONE
  • [-] CANCELLED
  • [!] PRIORITY
  • [>] PROGRESS
  • Back to [ ] TODO

Usage

  • Open a Markdown note with task items, for example - [ ] Task.
  • Click directly on the checkbox.
  • Each click advances the state to the next value in the cycle.

How It Works

  • In Reading view, the system intercepts checkbox clicks and updates the note content using internal file APIs.
  • In Source and Live Preview, it resolves the clicked line in the editor and updates that specific task marker.
  • If a task has an unknown marker, the next click normalizes it to [*] (STANDBY).

Roadmap

  • Add settings panel for custom colors and state labels.
  • Allow custom task cycle order.
  • Add commands and hotkeys for state changes.
  • Improve compatibility with other extensions and themes.
