Feature Request: Use empty remove checkbox syntax #8

Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Obsidian has a command called Cycle bullet/checkbox which cycles between these states: -, - [ ], - [x].

I would like to be able to easily remove the checkbox syntax, like the Obsidian command, and have the line return back to a bullet style when selected.

Describe the solution you'd like
To support this, I propose allowing users to specify empty (``) as "remove checkbox".

Having this part of the default options (maybe the last status), would be really nice too. I think it's intuitive.

Describe alternatives you've considered
Manually deleting the markdown: this method kind of sucks because it's more keystrokes. On mobile (iOS) you'll need to position the cursor correctly and then delete the checks (4 taps).

Using two commands: this method requires two commands to be juggled, and it's not simple to assign a single keyboard shortcut both commands. On mobile especially, you would need 2 mobile toolbar commands to be able to do this.
