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 > > Why not just switch back and forth between TODO and nothing by S-Right > and S-Left? > 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. :)
