Description

Does this feature exist in Emacs orgmode core?

N/A

Orgmode link

No response

Feature value

I'd find it useful to be able to manage the checkboxes as we do the headings, namely:

  • Promote and demote them with org_do_promote, org_do_demote, org_promote_subtree, org_demote_subtree.
  • Move it up and down with org_move_subtree_up and org_move_subtree_down
Additional context

If there is a way to do this I'm sorry :S, I'm just diving in nvim-orgmode for the first time (It is awesome!)

Research direction

Start by locating the implementations of org_do_promote, org_do_demote, org_promote_subtree, org_demote_subtree, org_move_subtree_up, and org_move_subtree_down, then inspect how checkbox items are represented. The feature is complete when checkboxes support the same promote, demote, and movement operations as headings, with tests covering each requested action.
