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:
