Actually I have one sequence for actions, one for projects, and one for unusual states (like CANCELLED); I'm finding more uses for it as time goes on. So the extra flexibility is more than I actually need, but not so much that I can't see any use for it. I would like to see this settable in lisp, though, since I want to use my TODO keywords all across my GTD system rather than different ones in different files. I can probably try to put together a patch to do this tomorrow, just so that I'm not kibitzing without offering code. > Or maybe this should actually be like this:? > > #+SEQ_TODO: TODO | DONE RESOLVED CANCELLED I don't think an extra syntax would be too worthwhile. If you're already setting TODO keywords in the file itself, three lines vs. one line is not a big deal. -- +-----------------------------------------------------------+ | Jason F.
