Brings the formatting options closer to the set linuxmint/sticky offers, on top of the existing bold/italic/underline/strikethrough:

  • fixed width, highlight and header
  • small/normal/large/larger text sizes, mutually exclusive with each other and with header, since they all scale the text
  • checklists and bullet lists

Checklist and bullet items are stored as leading characters rather than embedded widgets, so the note format is unchanged, the items survive copy/paste and search, and they show up in the read-only previews in the All Notes window for free.

A checkbox is ticked by clicking the box itself, with the pointer turning to a hand over it; clicking the words leaves the line editable. Enter carries a list on to the next line, and a ticked item carries on as a fresh unticked one.

The markers are drawn larger than the surrounding text through a nameless tag, and get_tags() now skips nameless tags so that styling the app applies itself never leaks into the saved note.

The toolbar groups the toggles into linked pairs and moves the less used formats into a menu, so it still fits a small note window.
