todo sequence with exceptions

todo sequence with exceptions

I have the following todo states:
TODO ACTION WAITING DONE and CANCELED
I would like my sequence to be:
TODO > ACTION > WAITING > DONE
and have WAITING and CANCELED extra somehow.
 so that I enter  WAITING and CANCELED with a prefix or so.
is there a way to get that with the standard featues?
(without lisp programming)

Greetings,
Eraldo

I believe the following will do what you're looking for.

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(setq org-use-fast-todo-selection t)

(setq org-todo-keywords '((sequence "TODO(t)" "ACTION(a)" "|" "DONE(d)")
			  (sequence "WAITING(w)" "|" "CANCELED(c)")))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

There's a short FAQ on fast todo selection:

Yep... that is exactly what I was looking for.

Thanks for the reply!
