Checklists in Rich Text fields have some quirks that make them unnecessarily cumbersome, compared to e.g. how Bulleted Lists work. - When the cursor is at the beginning of a non-blank line, inserting a Checklist (by typing “/k ENTER”) creates a NEW empty Checklist BELOW the current line. It would be preferable to instead CONVERT the current line into a Checklist (as happens with Bulleted lists and everything else). - When the cursor is at the _end of the line_ on the _last item_ of a Checklist, hitting DELETE does _not_ append/convert the following line into the current line (last Checklist item) as expected. - Checklist items/lines cannot be converted into other paragraphs types (headings, bulleted lists, etc) without first changing them into a regular paragraph. ---

While we’re talking about checklist improvements, I’d love it if they could be nested/indented! So many other tools allow this, and I find it extremely useful. ---

Uh-oh, more Rich Text [divergence from vanilla markdown](https://community.fibery.io/t/pasting-html-in-rich-text-ignores-color-alignment/1937/3) 😂 ---

Well, yes and no. 😄 Check lists are not supported either by the original Markdown spec nor by “Commonmark”, one of the more, er, commonly used reference specs. But they _are_ supported by the also widely-used “Github Flavored Markdown”, which I believe Fibery either uses, or at least conforms fairly close to. And that spec does indeed include nested checklists. 😁 [https://github.github.com/gfm/#task-list-items-extension-](https://github.github.com/gfm/#task-list-items-extension-)
