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!)

Contributor guide

Research direction
Examine the existing implementation for heading promotion/demotion in the plugin (likely in lua/orgmode/objects/heading.lua). Understand the functions org do promote, org do demote, org move subtree up, org move subtree down. Extend these functions or create new ones to operate on checkboxes. Review any existing checkbox related functions for consistency. Check the issue's comments for additional context.
