Currently, nested lists are not available using the hyphen list delimiter. You have to use the asterisk delimiter.
* foo
** nested bar
** nested baz
Would it be possible to consider a special case where, if creating nested checkbox/TODO items, hyphens could be used to create a nested list?
- [ ] First level TODO item
-- [ ] Nested TODO item
-- [ ] Another nested TODO item
This would enable rapidly creating nested TODO lists without having to hold down the shift key to type an asterisk. Because this would only be for hyphens followed by open brackets indicating a checkbox, it should not conflict with other uses of hyphens.
