Description

Right now, when you create a checklist, you can hit the + button to create a new element, or press ⏎ Enter from the last existing element to create a new one.

What I propose:

Make it possible to create a new element by pressing ⏎ Enter from anywhere in the checklist. Pressing ⏎ Enter from the 3rd position in a 10 elements list should insert a new element after the 3rd.
Give shortcut to navigate through the checklist elements. Arrow keys already navigate in the text within an element, why not use the ⎇ Alt modifier key to make the Up/down arrows jump to the elements above/below, and left/right arrow keys to jump to the first/last elements of the list.

Impact

This would allow faster navigation and more flexible checklist creation that doesn't even require switching between mouse and keyboard every 2 seconds. More productivity for everyone \o/
