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......
