Hello,

When marking an item as DONE, I would like to be able to press "n"
if I want to leave a note, and press "d" to just mark the item as DONE.

I've tried using this trick:

(setq org-todo-keywords '(
(sequence "TODO(t)" "STARTED(s)" "|" "DONE(n@/@)" "DONE(d!)")


I also tried this:

(sequence "TODO(t)" "STARTED(s)" "|" "DONE(n@/@)")
(sequence "TODO(t)" "STARTED(s)" "|" "DONE(d!)")

But neither kludge would prompt me for a note when I press Ctrl-C Ctrl-T n

I realize this is picky, because I can manually insert a note before marking
an item as DONE.  I'm just wondering if anyone knows a way that two
shortcuts can be defined for the same TODO state, with one of the
shortcuts prompting for a note.

Thanks,
--Nate

  (setq org-todo-keywords (quote ("TODO" "STARTED" "|" "DONE@")))
  
  works here. Note, that org chooses the first letter of the todo keyword
  in lowercase automatically if you press C-c C-t, so there's no need for
  "TODO(t)" et al.

    I just found I use the trick including the keydefinition in my own setup
    :) which is superfluous:
    
    
    (setq org-todo-keywords (quote ("TODO" "STARTED" "|" "DONE" "CANCELED(c@)")))

    Hi Nathan,
    
    
    Sorry for my typo (see below).

    Pardon me, this should be:
    
      (setq org-todo-keywords (quote ("TODO" "STARTED" "|" "DONE(@)")))
    
    
    
    I found you'll have to close and open the Org file in question again to
    make it work.
    
    
    
    BTW: What's your value of the variable `org-todo-interpretation' ?
         Maybe add these lines to your setup:
    
         (setq org-todo-interpretation (quote sequence))
         (setq org-todo-keywords (quote ("TODO" "STARTED" "|" "DONE(@)")))

  Hi Nathan,
  
  I can think of two solutions:
  
  1. Just follow Org into the notes buffer, but kill it with `C-c C-k'.
  
  2. (setq org-treat-S-cursor-todo-selection-as-state-change nil)
      and then use S-right to switch states when you don't want notes to  
  be taken.
      Unfortunately that does not work from the agenda......
