Yes indeed. I'm still practicing typing out the notation for
keybindings. I suppose that C-c a is such a quick maneuver that I
instinctively shorten its notation. :)

Ah yes. Now I see that this is indeed what you were requesting in the
original post. I suppose I need to brush up on basic logic as well. :)
There is a shortened tag search syntax for including or excluding TODO
states:
C-c a m [RET] Jack/-DONE-RETURNED
You could assign this a shortcut in using org-agenda-custom-commands
command to avoid having to type it repeatedly. I'm not aware if there is
a shorter way to indicate *all* inactive todo states in such a search.
Best,
Matt
