/todo to create checkbox on Android

[Srinath]

feature

This is available in desktop version where we can create a check box with /todo. However it is currently (0.3.0) not possible in Android .

solution

Use /todo to create checkbox.

/checkbox can be used in android to create checkbox in android. Or do you want an alias for the same with /todo as well?

[Srinath]

@lynxlove Yep, that’s what I want

I’ve adjusted the title from “/todo to create checkbox on Android” to “Aliases for blocks” to reflect a broader sense of what is requested.

Removed tag “Android” as this is also relevant for desktop and iOS.

@Srinath feel free to revert these changes if you don’t agree

Good one.

Not a big deal, but I wonder if we should reserve the word “aliases” for when we’re referring to the users own content, as requested here:

Unlinked Mentions & Aliases

+1 on that request. I’d also like to add two related requests: Aliases should exist as unique references. Using OP’s example, if one day I decide to change “The Big Apple” to “The Big Pear”, I can just edit that alias, and this is updated in every occurrence (while still keeping the link to “New York City”). Ability to create these Aliases in the moment I’m actually creating a reference to an object (ie. no need to go into the object to create the alias). For example, the first time I…

Although the term “alias” is universal, it has a very specific meaning in the context of note-taking and personal knowledge base software.

I’d suggest changing this request to something like “alternative slashdot commands”, or something similar.

Again, not a big deal.

@sambouwer we could keep the title as it was and only track /todo in this. This fr was a more specific request and not a broad one
