[O] No Brackets in TODO keywords?

[Marcus Klemm]

Hello List,

For visual reasons I'd like to have TODO keywords in brackets, like
[TODO], [DONE] etc. Unfortunately, orgmode does not allow me to do
that. I can define them, I can select them with C-c C-t, but in the
actual .org file they are not recognized as TODO keywords. Or, at
least, they don't get drawn using the org-todo face.

Ciao, Marcus

I'm not in favor of allowing square brackets for TODO keywords, I find
the limitations for the TODO keywords really acceptable.

So unless many people are asking for this, I will not implement it.

You can have approaching effects using boxes to surround the TODO keywords.
For example:

--8---cut here---start-8---
(org-todo ((t (:weight bold :box (:line-width 1 :color red3) :foreground 
white :background #FF
--8---cut here---end---8---

in my color theme Leuven (see
http://orgmode.org/worg/color-themes/color-theme-leuven.el).

Best regards,
