Hello,

When marking an item as DONE, I would like to be able to press "n"
if I want to leave a note, and press "d" to just mark the item as DONE.

I've tried using this trick:

(setq org-todo-keywords '(
(sequence "TODO(t)" "STARTED(s)" "|" "DONE(n@/@)" "DONE(d!)")


I also tried this:

(sequence "TODO(t)" "STARTED(s)" "|" "DONE(n@/@)")
(sequence "TODO(t)" "STARTED(s)" "|" "DONE(d!)")

But neither kludge would prompt me for a note when I press Ctrl-C Ctrl-T n

I realize this is picky, because I can manually insert a note before marking
an item as DONE.  I'm just wondering if anyone knows a way that two
shortcuts can be defined for the same TODO state, with one of the
shortcuts prompting for a note.

Thanks,
--Nate

(setq org-todo-keywords (quote ("TODO" "STARTED" "|" "DONE@")))

works here. Note, that org chooses the first letter of the todo keyword
in lowercase automatically if you press C-c C-t, so there's no need for
"TODO(t)" et al.

I just found I use the trick including the keydefinition in my own setup
:) which is superfluous:


(setq org-todo-keywords (quote ("TODO" "STARTED" "|" "DONE" "CANCELED(c@)")))

Hi Nathan,


Sorry for my typo (see below).

Pardon me, this should be:

  (setq org-todo-keywords (quote ("TODO" "STARTED" "|" "DONE(@)")))



I found you'll have to close and open the Org file in question again to
make it work.



BTW: What's your value of the variable `org-todo-interpretation' ?
     Maybe add these lines to your setup:

     (setq org-todo-interpretation (quote sequence))
     (setq org-todo-keywords (quote ("TODO" "STARTED" "|" "DONE(@)")))

Hi Nathan,

I can think of two solutions:

1. Just follow Org into the notes buffer, but kill it with `C-c C-k'.

2. (setq org-treat-S-cursor-todo-selection-as-state-change nil)
    and then use S-right to switch states when you don't want notes to  
be taken.
    Unfortunately that does not work from the agenda......
