Hello, Up to recently, with the following customization:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- (setq org-todo-keywords '((sequence "NEW(n!)" "TODO(t!)" "STRT(s!)" "WAIT(w!)" "SDAY(y!)" "|" "DONE(d!)" "CANX(x!)") (sequence "QTE(q!)" "QTD(Q!)" "|" "APP(A!)" "REJ(R!)") (sequence "OPENPO(O!)" "|" "CLSDPO(C!)"))) --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- To select the TODO state "NEW" or "TODO" for an entry which had no TODO keyword, I just had to `S-right' once or twice: 1. NEW 2. TODO Now, `S-right' does cycle in a new order: 1. OPENPO 2. CLSDPO 3. QTE 4. QTD 5. APP 6. REJ 7. NEW 8. TODO See http://screencast.com/t/FyECLZ3y. Best regards, Seb -- Sebastien Vauban
