The current code is designed to show the checkbox selection popup only when the :
character is used on an empty line. However, I understand that there are situations where adding a checkbox to an existing line is necessary. To address this issue, we will implement support for a hotkey command, allowing users to add checkboxes even on lines with existing text.
In version 1.2.0, the following updates have been made:
Please update the plugin in the Obsidian Community Plugins: obsidian://show-plugin?id=checkbox-styling-helper
Note!!: If there is already content present, icon setting and changes can only be made via commands.
What does work
When creating a new bullet or checkbox without any other text on the line, hitting space and then typing
:
shows the popup box to choose a checkbox.What doesn't work
When a bullet point or checkbox already exists, adding a
:
anywhere in the line does not pop up the checkbox selection dialogue.I've tried after the checkbox and I've also tried the end of the line.

My workaround
Create a newline before the line I wish to change with a checkbox, type
:
, then hitDel
to combine the two lines together.
