Hi,
From the docs:
"S-<<left>> and S-<<right>> and walk through all keywords from all sets"
What I would /really/ like is for S-<<left>> and S-<<right>> to _stay_
within the same set, with me using C-S-<<left>> (or right) to _switch_
to another set.
What I have (so far) on the top of the file is:
#+TODO: TODO | DONE
#+TODO: WAITING | DONE
The reason I kept it as separate sets is that I anticipate WAITING to
be infrequent compared to TODO. So I don't want to put TODO and WAITING
in the same set. I think there's another (more standard) way of setting
the TODO state (I forget the shortcut), but for me the S-Left/Right is
really, really convenient.
And incidentally, the S-Left/Right doesn't seem to do as advertised. It
jumps from one set to the other only once (haven't tested with 3 sets).

I understand that you prefer S-left/right. However, I believe cycling
with C-c C-t will stay within the same set.
(I proofread that keybinding couple of times.) :)
As an aside, I've found that it's very fast to use the new speed
commands to change todo states. If org-use-speed-commands is turned on,
all one needs to do is hit "t" at the start of a headline.

I believe the presence of duplicate DONEs above is interfering with the
cycling from state to state. If I get rid of the second DONE or change
it to a different state, the cycling from set to set works as expected,
TODO --> DONE --> WAITING --> nil --> TODO. E.g.
#+TODO: TODO | DONE
#+TODO: WAITING
Best,
Matt

Yes, but it's so much easier to use the Shift keys than typing C-c C-t.

Hmm...I don't seem to have that command. Is this only in the "trunk"
version?
In any case, while a bit better, speed commands only work at the
beginning of the headline. I often (always, actually) cycle through the
todos while in the middle of the headline.
It'd be great if what I asked for could be implemented - say, as a
configuration option. It can remain as is by default, but those like
myself can enable the cycling that I like.
Or, I suppose, I could override the keybindings s.t. Shift L/R map to
whatever C-c C-t map to...

That may be it. Is this intentional, or a bug?
Thanks.

This feature was introduced in version 6.33:
http://orgmode.org/Changes.html#sec-1.2.2
Version 6.33f is currently available as tar download from the org-mode
website:
http://orgmode.org/org-6.33f.tar.gz
Best,
Matt

Which is what I'm using (6.33f). At least that's what org-version tells me.

Have you set the variable org-use-speed-commands to t?
