There may be a more elegant solution, but this should work:
TODO={.+}-TODO="DONE"
The first part uses a regular expression to check for any TODO keyword
at all, the second excludes those with DONE.
Note that if we have multiple 'done' states, e.g. "CANCELED" here,
#+TODO: TODO STARTED | DONE CANCELED
this solution will also include CANCELED unless you specifically list
it, e.g. with
TODO={.+}-TODO={DONE\|CANCELED}
To generally distinguish between done and not-done states, Org
internally sets buffer-local variables org-done-keywords and
org-not-done-keywords, but I'm not aware of a way to leverage them
through the match syntax. Does anyone?
Otherwise, it might be nice to introduce corresponding generic keywords
in the match syntax (similar to how we can match timestamps against
<now>).
Yours,
Christian
