A draft script for toggling the task completed (data-done) status of one or more selected rows.
Only non-empty rows are affected. Any selected non-empty rows which are not yet of the task type become tasks and acquire task-completion checkboxes.

// Affects non-empty rows only.
// Affected rows are set to type "task" where necessary.
// All selected rows are taken to the same status.
// Where their starting status is mixed, the new status
// is the opposite of that of the first selected task.

To test in Script Editor.app set the language selector at top left to JavaScript rather than AppleScript.
You can assign a Bike script to a keyboard shortcut using utilities like Keyboard Maestro and FastScripts.
