I guess I meant it is too late to *only* change that variable. You are right, in principle this could be done. Which basically means implementing Austin's proposal of allowing several deadline keywords. But: it means changing quite a few regexps, not just one. And it will mean follow-up requests to have different fontification for different DEADLINE keywords. And different appearance in the Agenda. And adding the deadline keyword to the CSV export of the agenda. And doing everything the same for variations on SCHEDULED.

Is it really too late?  Could you = maybe make the REGEXP that matches the

As = long as you don't force everyone to s/DEADLINE:/DUE:/ in = their
