* [BUG] org-toggle-headline inserts "TODO" regardless of local definitions [9.5 (9.5-g0a86ad @ /home/rasmus/.emacs.d/elpa/org-9.5/)]

Dear all,

Here comes a minor gripe.
If I start with:
-------------------------
#+TODO: foo bar | baz

+ [X] Apple
+ [ ] Banana
------------------------
...and then apply org-toggle-headline (C-c *) on the two items,
one after the other, I end up with these headlines:

* DONE Apple
** TODO Banana

...instead of these:

* baz Apple
** foo Banana

Yours
Rasmus

Confirmed.

Currently, checkbox to todo keyword mapping is hard-coded in
org-list-to-subtree.

We may use something like
[ ] -> (car org-not-done-keywords);
[-] -> (car org-not-done-keywords);
[X] -> (car org-done-keywords);

Though it may still be not ideal when there are multiple keywords to
choose from.

Best,
Ihor

I would agree hard coded todo keywords is an issue given we allow
people to define the set of todo keywords. I think your suggestion to
use the car of 'org-not-done-keywords and 'org-done-keywords is an
improvement (even if not perfect).

I do wonder if the doc string for org-toggle-heading needs updating. It
makes no reference to making a list item a todo heading if it looks like
a todo item. I was actually surprised that org-toggle-heading adds
keywords at all. While headings and todo items are certainly related, my
expectation would be that a function called org-toggle-heding would do
just that - add stars if none exist and remove them if they do. I would
not necessarily expect a list item to be converted to a todo heading,
only a heading.

Fixed on main as I described.
https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/emacs/org-mode.git/commit/?id=fcd38174500f9a18ee34ed8179a0e75c2892c8f5

If requested, we may also allow customization of the exact keywords to
be used during the conversion.

I now added the relevant explanation to the docstring.
https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/emacs/org-mode.git/commit/?id=ae028d0a2546eea90fdb3d8d84b084bcb03f0d9c

Note that I do find the checkbox/TODO conversion logical.

We may, of course, add a customization for this behaviour if sufficient
interest is present.
