Checklist

  • I made sure that there are no existing issues - open or closed - to which I could contribute my information.
  • I made sure that there are no existing discussions - open or closed - to which I could contribute my information.
  • I have read the FAQs inside the app (Menu -> About -> FAQs) and my problem isn't listed.
  • I have taken the time to fill in all the required details. I understand that the request will be dismissed otherwise.
  • This issue contains only one feature request.
  • I have read and understood the contribution guidelines.

Feature description

When pasting into a checklist, newlines are automatically removed. This violates the Principle of Least Astonishment two ways:

  • The app should not take it upon itself to mangle inputs by default.
  • Items on multiple lines should stay multiple, rather than being squished into one huge checklist item.

Why do you want this feature?

It's way easier and more intuitive to paste multiple lines and get multiple items. Less messing around. The workaround I used was clunky, and took some rummaging to come up with, namely pasting into a file on the filesystem and then importing same.
