Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
When using longer checklists it would be good if there would be a quick way to reorganize them.

Describe the solution you'd like

  • There could be either some keyboard shortcut to move the currenly focussed list item down or up (similar to how it works with tab/shift+tab to indent)
  • There could be a drag handle next to it on hover
  • Ctrl+Click and dragging works but converts the list item to a paragraph within the top node

Research direction

No file or test is named. Start by locating the JavaScript editor entry point and the checklist/list-item handling, then determine which reordering interaction is appropriate; done means focused list items can be moved up or down or reordered by dragging without being converted to paragraphs.
