Unfortunately, Org relies on the fact that a TODO keyword ends at a word end that can be matched with the regular expression "\\>". So you would have to make ">" and "-" into word characters. That can be done, but I fear it might break something else. Worth a try, though. - Carsten -----Original Message----- From: emacs-orgmode-bounces+dominik=science.uva.nl@gnu.org on behalf of William Xu Sent: Mon 6/9/2008 2:43 AM To: emacs-orgmode@gnu.org Subject: [Orgmode] use non-alphabet ascii as todo keywords? Hi! Can I use non-alphabet ascii as todo keywords? Like this: ,---- | (setq org-todo-keywords | '((sequence "-" ">" "o" "x"))) `---- where each stands for: todo, doing, done, cancelled. They seem much easier to recognize than TODO, DOING, DONE, CANCELLED, etc. -- William http://williamxu.net9.org We'll pivot at warp 2 and bring all tubes to bear, Mr. Sulu! _______________________________________________ Emacs-orgmode mailing list Remember: use `Reply All' to send replies to the list.
