The Checkbox Style Menu plugin introduces a long-press menu that lets you switch between a wide range of checkbox styles without breaking your writing flow. It supports all styles provided by the Minimal and Things themes, and you can curate exactly which ones appear in the menu. On desktop and mobile, the interaction feels natural, with touch friendly behaviour and optional haptic feedback. The menu adapts to your active theme, ensuring visual consistency, and works only in live preview to maintain accurate rendering. Timing for long-press gestures can be tuned separately for each platform, giving you control over how quickly the menu appears.

What's new

New Feature

Tasks Plugin Compatibility

Added optional integration with the Tasks plugin to support automatic done dates. #4

  • When enabled, Tasks can add done dates when marking checkboxes complete via the style menu
  • Find the setting in Settings → Checkbox Style Menu → Advanced → Enable Tasks plugin integration
  • Works seamlessly with most checkbox transitions ([ ] → [x], [!] → [x], [x] → [ ], etc.)

Known limitations:

  • [-] → [x] won't add done date (not a Tasks workflow)
  • [x] → custom style won't remove done date (not a Tasks workflow)

See the README for full details.

Improvements

  • Refactored plugin compatibility architecture for better maintainability
  • Enhanced settings validation to auto-disable incompatible features when dependencies are missing
  • Added automatic detection and monitoring of third-party plugin availability

Documentation

  • Added Third-Party Plugin Compatibility section to README
  • Documented Tasks integration setup and limitations
