Okay, it's not a big deal. I always delete DONE items anyway, so they don't
clutter the todo list. It's only inconvenient when I switch an item to TODO
state accidentally and I have to switch to DONE first and then nothing to
undo it. Which reminds me: I could use undo to undo it. Hmmm. :D

I use PC selection mode so these keys are already taken and the replacement
keys org provides are not as convenient.

But I can live with it, it's a minor inconvenience. And one day I may even
discover the point of keeping DONE items in the tree and then it will be
a non-issue. :)
