Hi,
I'm running into a problem with todo keywords.
Plain TODO works fine:
* To do list
** TODO Do this thing
STARTED works as expected, as does DONE.
WAITING, DELEGATED, SOMEDAY, SKIPPED, and CANCELLED are the problematic
ones. They all behave the same way. I'll use WAITING as an example.
It works fine when I switch to WAITING (it prompts for a note/comment):
* To do list
** WAITING Do this thing
- State "WAITING " from "TODO" [2010-11-03 Wed 10:45] \\
...waiting... waiting...
The problem is when I switch to another status from WAITING (or
DELEGATED, etc.):
* To do list
** DONE WAITING Do this thing
- State "DONE" from "" [2010-11-03 Wed 10:46]
- State "WAITING " from "TODO" [2010-11-03 Wed 10:45] \\
...waiting... waiting...
It is as though WAITING isn't recognized as a todo keyword. DONE is
prepended to the item, but WAITING still appears. The state says "Done"
from "".
Here is how my todo keywords are set up:
Org Todo Keywords:
INS DEL Cons-cell:
Interpretation: Value Menu Sequence (cycling hits every state)
Repeat:
INS DEL Keyword: TODO(t)
INS DEL Keyword: STARTED(a!)
INS DEL Keyword: WAITING (w@)
INS DEL Keyword: DELEGATED (D!)
INS DEL Keyword: SOMEDAY (s)
INS DEL Keyword: |
INS DEL Keyword: SKIPPED (k@)
INS DEL Keyword: CANCELLED (c@)
INS DEL Keyword: DONE(d!)
I don't see any other variables/settings that look relevant.
Org version is 7.01h.
In the copy/pastes in this mail, you don't see the faces. I have noticed
that:
- TODO and STARTED (which work fine) are highlighted red and bold
- DONE is highlighted blue (and works as expected -- if I switch back to
STARTED from DONE, DONE is replaced with STARTED and the state is: State
"STARTED" from "DONE"
- WAITING, DELEGATED, SOMEDAY, SKIPPED, and CANCELLED do not work as
expected, and are shown in the normal text face.
Faces customizations I have made:
Org Todo Keyword Faces = Standard
Org TODO = highlighted red, bold
Org Done = highlighted blue
Org Special Keyword = blue text, italic
Not sure if faces setting could be causing the problem somehow, or if
the faces aren't being applied because for some reason these aren't
being recognized as keywords at all.
Any ideas on what is going on here and how to fix it?
Thank you,
Kristina

what's the value of org-todo-keywords ?
C-h v org-todo-keywords
In my setup: Its value is
((sequence "TODO" "DONE"))
You can change the value of the variable in
a "per file" basis
#+TODO: TODO FEEDBACK VERIFY | DONE CANCELED
(manual: Setting up keywords for individual files)
or globally in your .emacs
(setq org-todo-keywords
'((sequence "TODO" "|" "DONE")
(sequence "REPORT" "BUG" "KNOWNCAUSE" "|" "FIXED")
(sequence "|" "CANCELED")))
(manual: Multiple keyword sets in one file)
> It is as though WAITING isn't recognized as a todo keyword.
Have you changed the value of TODO's and pressed C-c C-c on the
#+TODO:
line?
Did you run the command "M-x org-mode-restart" after changing
the value of TODO?
Could you, please, post a minimal file as an example of this strange
behaviour?,
Please post a *complete file* with all the #+ lines, and also
the value of org-todo-keywords.
cheers,
Giovanni

Hi Giovanni,
Thanks for your response.

org-todo-keywords is a variable defined in `org.el'.
Its value is
((sequence "TODO(t)" "STARTED(a!)" "WAITING (w@)" "DELEGATED (D!)"
"SOMEDAY (s)" "|" "SKIPPED (k@)" "CANCELLED (c@)" "DONE(d!)"))
> You can change the value of the variable in

I do not have any per-file variables set except for archive locations,
like:
#+ARCHIVE: %s_archive::* Log
> Did you run the command "M-x org-mode-restart" after changing
> the value of TODO?
I've had the problem for months---just now getting around to asking
about it, since I can manually correct the weirdness. :-) Emacs and
Orgmode have been restarted many times while the problem persists.

I have put a full .org file here:
http://www.infomuse.net/download/example.org
I have copied the entire contents of that file between the -=-= lines below.
Thanks,
Kristina

The list has a blank space after WAITING [1], so the list is incorrect ;-)
This works:
(setq org-todo-keywords
' ((sequence "TODO(t)" "STARTED(a!)" "WAITING(w@)" "DELEGATED(D!)"
"SOMEDAY(s)" "|" "SKIPPED(k@)" "CANCELLED(c@)" "DONE(d!)")))
cheers,
Giovanni
[1] and also after delegated, someday skipped cancelled

Giovanni,
Ha! I knew it was going to be something obvious but apparently invisible
to me.
Yes, this works.
Thanks a bunch. One less minor annoyance in life. :-)
