Description

Just like you can on the web, basically.

I tried searching for "checkbox" in the issues but found nothing, sorry if this is a duplicate and i didn't notice it

also, it doesn't show up on my screenshots but the cursor becomes a hand when you hover over checkboxes so it gives you the impression that you can click on it
