Hello,

I would like to re-submit this idea, now that I am reasonably sure that
my implementation will not impact users who do not use the feature.

(I understand that Org 9.4 is on the way.  I am not asking for this
feature to be included right now; I would like to get some feedback
first, then move on to documenting it.)

* Motivation

To recap: AFAIK it is not possible to define both org-todo-keywords and
org-todo-keyword-faces per-directory.  The former can be set with
#+SETUPFILE, but the latter simply can't be set locally, unless I'm
mistaken.

I'd like to specify, for all Org files in a directory, which keywords to
use and how they must look.  Setting both org-todo-* variables in
.dir-locals.el would be ideal IMO: the definitions for keywords and
their faces would be right next to each other.

This cannot work right now because (1) of a stray call to default-value
(2) Org computes the TODO machinery (regexps and font-lock) when setting
up the major mode, before directory-local variables are in effect.

* Prior art

AUCTeX[1] and markdown-mode[2] both solve this using
hack-local-variables-hook.  This seems to be the expected way for modes
to (re)compute things that may be affected by file or directory-local
variables.

[1] 
http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/auctex.git/tree/font-latex.el?h=release_12_2#n1331
[2] https://github.com/jrblevin/markdown-mode/blob/v2.4/markdown-mode.el#L9403

The idea is to register a function that will check whether the user
overloaded variables we care about; if that's the case, then we
recompute what we need to.

* Patch

The attached patch:

- does not change org-mode's default setup logic,

- adds a function to hack-local-variables-hook that will look for
  org-todo-* variables, and recompute org-set-regexps-and-options and
  org-set-font-lock-defaults if needed,

- adds :safe predicates for these variables,

- adds unit tests.

Subject: [PATCH] Allow users to configure TODO keywords from dir-locals.el

This uses the same method as AUCTeX and markdown-mode to refresh
fontification based on file-local and directory-local variables:

https://github.com/jrblevin/markdown-mode/blob/v2.4/markdown-mode.el#L9403

* lisp/org-faces.el (org-todo-keyword-faces): Add safe-local-variable
predicate.

* lisp/org.el (org-todo-keywords): Add safe-local-variable predicate.
(org-set-regexps-and-options): Use buffer-local value of
org-todo-keywords.
(org-mode): Register a function to reset regexps and font-lock once
file-local variables have been applied.
(org--process-local-variables): Recompute regexps and font-lock if the
user set relevant variables.

* testing/examples/dir-locals/.dir-locals.el:
* testing/examples/dir-locals/todo.org: Support files for new tests.

* testing/lisp/test-org.el (test-org/dir-local-todo-keyword-faces):
(test-org/dir-local-todo-cycling): New tests.

Am I on the right track with this patch, or are there problems I haven't
thought of?

Thank you for your time.
