Why is there no org-agenda-todo-next-keyword function?

Why is there no org-agenda-todo-next-keyword function?

[Somelauw .]

In an org-agenda buffer the following functions are defined and bound:
- org-agenda-todo-nextset (C-S-left)
- org-agenda-todo-previousset (C-S-right)
which change between sets of todo keywords.

Yet the following corresponding functions are missing:
- org-agenda-todo-next-keyword
- org-agenda-todo-previous-keyword
which should (if implemented) change between individual todo keywords.

If I have the following setup:

```emacs-lisp
  (setq org-todo-keywords
        '((sequence "TODO(t)" "|" "DONE(d)")
          (sequence "NEXT(n)" "|" "WAITING(w)")))
```

There is no way to change a task to DONE using C-S-left and C-S-right
bindings alone.
What's the reason for this?

What's the reason that these functions are missing?

This is not an answer, which would not be very useful anyways, to your
question, but have you tried `org-agenda-todo', i.e. `t' on an entry?

Thanks for your response. I already knew about `t`.
I was just wondering whether there is a good reason for this
inconsistency or if this should be changed.

Kind regards,
