Quickly Switch Between TODO States

Quickly Switch Between TODO States

[Wanrong Lin]

Hi,

I am trying to get the quick TODO state switching work. I put the 
following line as in the online manual in my org file

#+SEQ_TODO: TODO(t) STARTED(s) WAITING(w) | DONE(d)

But when I press C-c C-c, I only see my tags in the selection window. The online manual does not elaborate on this much, so I wonder whether someone can help me out here.

Thanks a lot!

Did you try C-c C-t ?

,----[ (info "(org)TODO basics") ]
| The most important commands to work with TODO entries are:
| 
| `C-c C-t'
|      Rotate the TODO state of the current item among
| 
|           ,-> (unmarked) -> TODO -> DONE --.
|           '--------------------------------'
| 
|      The same rotation can also be done "remotely" from the timeline and
|      agenda buffers with the `t' command key (*note Agenda commands::).

Hope this helps,

C-c C-t is what I have been using, but recently I am a little bit tired 
of the cycling (especially when I have 7 TODO states), so I wish to have 
something that can let me select a TODO state directly, like C-c C-c 
does for tags.

C-u C-c C-t works for me

Also see sec 5.2.4 of manual "(org)Fast access to TODO states" for
other options.

Then you also want (setq org-use-fast-todo-selection t)

Wanrong,
I have it configured like this:

(setq org-todo-keywords
      '((sequence
         "TODO(t)" "STARTED(s)" "WAITING(w)" "UNTESTED(u)" "|"
         "DONE(d)" "DEFERRED(f)" "CANCELLED(x)")))

(setq org-use-fast-todo-selection t)

then all it takes is C-c C-t and then a key (t,s,w)...

Cheers,
Hugo

Yes, this works for me now. Thanks a lot.
I though once I have those "(t)", "(s)" defined in the TODO keyword, I 
will have one-key access to the TODO keywords.

Also, I think probably the manual should be changed as it says "C-c C-c" 
does quick TODO selection.  The original text:

--------------------------

C-c C-c
    Use the fast tag interface to quickly and directly select a specific
    TODO state. For this you need to assign keys to TODO state, like this:

              #+SEQ_TODO: TODO(t) STARTED(s) WAITING(w) | DONE(d)
         

    See Per file keywords
    <http://staff.science.uva.nl/%7Edominik/Tools/org/org.html#Per-file-keywords>
    and Setting tags
    <http://staff.science.uva.nl/%7Edominik/Tools/org/org.html#Setting-tags>
    for more information.
