Plugin to automatically fill progress (as fraction or percentage) of check-lists

Obsidian Checklist Progress

Simple Obsidian plugin to automatically update the progress in a list of tasks. Given, for example, the following note:

This is a list (/):
- [x] item one
- [ ] item two (%)
    - [ ] sub item one
    - [x] sub item two
- [x] item three

the command provided by this plugin will update it to

This is a list (2/3):
- [x] item one
- [ ] item two (50%)
    - [ ] sub item one
    - [x] sub item two
- [x] item three

providing the fraction / percentage of completed tasks in a sub-list.

Besides using a command to trigger the update (which you can bind to a keyboard shortcut), you can also enable auto-updating when toggling a checkbox in Obsidian Live Preview mode.

Additionally, adding a minus before the fraction or percentage symbol will count unchecked checkboxes. Example:

This is a list (-/):
- [x] item one
- [ ] item two
- [x] item three

will be updated to

This is a list (-1/3):
- [x] item one
- [ ] item two
- [x] item three

Inspiration

This is supposed to mimic a similar feature from Emacs's Org Mode.
