Set org-todo-keywords as file-local variables

Set org-todo-keywords as file-local variables

[Thorsten Jolitz]

Hi List,

I set 'org-todo-keywords' as file-local variables in a file, and 'C-h v
org-todo-keywords' in that file's buffer suggests I was successfull:

,----
| org-todo-keywords is a variable defined in `org.el'.
| Its value is shown below.
| 
|   This variable's value is file-local.
| 
| Documentation: [...]
| Value:
| ((sequence "|" "E(e)" "X(x)" "C(c)" "R(r)" "M(m)"))
| 
| Original value was 
| ((sequence "TODO" "DONE"))
| 
| Local in buffer foo-test.org; global value is 
| ((sequence "TODO(t)" "NEXT(n)" "|" "DONE(d!/!)")
|  (sequence "WAITING(w@/!)" "HOLD(h@/!)" "|" "CANCELLED(c@/!)" "PHONE"))
| 
| [back]
`----

but when doing C-c C-t in that buffer, 'org-todo' still offers me the
usual selection menu based on the variable's global value.

Am I missing something here?

I have some files with locally set todo keywords.  I use a different
interface through:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
#+TODO: TODO(t) WAITING(w!) | DONE(d!) CANCELED(c@/!)
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Does that help?

Yes, thanks, that works and is much better than directly setting
file-local vars!
