My question is: 1) how do you make org.el "remember" what sequence is in use for a particular task? 2) how do you tell the user what sequence is in use for a particular task? The reason behind my suggestion to use "TODO_1 NEXT_1 | DONE_1" is that it solves both questions without requiring anothing new. You can even replace DONE_1 by DONE, because you usually don't need to cycle through keywords once an entry is marked DONE. > Nothing more, nothing less and not very, very important, just > "nice". Reason? I want "Done", "Cancelled" on all or most sequences. As I said, you can switch from one sequence to another if they start with a different keyword. Then you can use "Done" and "Cancelled" as you wish, provided that you don't expect S- on them will produce something logical -- e.g. set-dependant. I'm not trying to say the current way of handling sets is the only one, not even the better one, it's just that I don't know how they could be handled otherwise - maybe i'm too myopic on this. -- Bastien
