The TODO list cursor behavior is exactly the kind of polish detail that matters. I'll add this to the issue tracker — cursor should respect line start position, not jump past the checkbox syntax.

These "many small details" are what v0.3.0's custom editor widget will unlock. egui's TextEdit doesn't give us fine-grained cursor control, but replacing it will.

Awesome, initially it looked like a quick AI-generated project but I see you care about it and plan investing the effort into it. Will be following on Github!
