Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

The one thing "keep"ing me from dropping google keep is the ability to maintain checklists. On keep, I can create a long list of checkbox items for (say) packing, check them off as I go, and then next time re-use the list by unchecking all the boxes. Having a function like this in nextcloud notes would be the last thing I need to fully drop keep.

Describe the solution you'd like

An "uncheck all checkboxes" option in the three-dot menu of a note (or similar).

Example from Google Keep:

Describe alternatives you've considered

Manually unchecking all the items. Doable, but for a list with 50 things..pretty laborious.

Research direction

Start by locating the note editor and its three-dot menu in the notes-android codebase. Trace how checkbox items are represented and changed, then define done as an option that clears all checked items in the current note and works for long checklists. No file or test paths are named in the issue, so repository exploration is required.
