* TODO keyword completion bug

I have some (buffer-local) keywords defined that contain dashes to
separate words (because I couldn't think of a single word that would be
clear).  M-<TAB> completion does not appear to work for these keywords.

This has made me reconsider my choice of keywords, but since they're
valid keywords, shouldn't they be valid candidates for completion
(i.e. is this a bug)?

"Keywords" is ambiguous here.

TODO keywords like "MY-TODO" complete fine with M-TAB.

#+MY_KEYWORD does not complete fine with M-TAB, but since this keyword
appears in the buffer anyway, you can simply use M-/.

HTH,

OK, so I'll just use M-/.

I have the keywords defined with #+TODO:.  I just tried playing around
with them a bit, and I have found that the "problem" is not exactly as I
thought: keywords with dashes, such as MY-TODO, do not complete with
M-TAB if I try to complete from after the dash, i.e. M-TAB on MY- does
not complete.  TODO keyword completion does not work at all if there is
already a headline, e.g. * TO[M-TAB here] Buy bread

So, if this is a bug, I now have a workaround; if it's not a bug, then I
now know how to properly use TODO completion.  I'll leave it to you (the
Org-mode devs) to decide whether to treat this as a bug.

Thanks,
Aidan Gauland

Indeed, this was a bug.  Fixed now.

Thanks!
