I think I would too. Having check/uncheck items in view mode, but add/remove items in edit mode, feels like the right demarkation to me (though if I got into using checklists heavily, I may change my mind)
That’s an option in tw5-checklist
fwiw, the checklist system I had my eye on is the one used here Mehregan Edition — a personal knowledge management app …but looking into it now, I see it’s this Kara checklist, which wraps them in a @@.todo
block, and can (afaict) only have one checklist per tid. Kara 0.9.7 — In tiddler plain checklist and interstitial journaling plugin …it turns out what I like about kookma is having the hideable footnote with the todo list in it, but now I’m not sure that’s exactly what I would want in all cases
