Thank you for advice. I'm surprised I didn't think of it myself. It's a good idea to ensure consistency between 'org-checkbox' and 'org-columns-checkbox'. > Except that we should not allow removing checkboxes and instead > force empty checkbox with single prefix argument. And why do you want to avoid this? When using 'org-column' I sometimes remove an empty checkbox. So I see use in it, and most importantly, it would provide same compatible interface for 'org-checkbox' and 'org-columns-checkbox' In my previously message I didn't reply to all. So now I'm fixing it CCing emacs-orgmode@gnu.org now. Regards, -- Slawomir Grochowski
