add the code.. accidentally published with my dev script

created by @FlohGro / more on my Blog

md task toggler

Add or toggle markdown tasks in current selection.
Works for a single line (where the cursor is positioned) or if text in multiple lines is selected.
If tasks in the selected lines have different states they will be synchronized to the same state.

‘⌘D’ is configured as keyboard shortcut - change this if you want to use a different one

If you find this useful and want to support me you can donate or buy me a coffee
