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.

not sure about the brackets, but to add some visual distinctiveness, I
use this:
(setq org-todo-keyword-faces
'(("PROJ" :background "blue" :weight bold :box (:line-width 2 :style released-button))
("TODO" :background "red1" :weight bold :box (:line-width 2 :style released-button))
("NEXT" :background "red1" :weight bold :box (:line-width 2 :style released-button))
("STRT" :background "orange" :weight bold :box (:line-width 2 :style released-button))
("WAIT" :background "yellow" :weight bold :box (:line-width 2 :style released-button))
("APPT" :background "red1" :weight bold :box (:line-width 2 :style released-button))
("DONE" :background "forest green" :weight bold :box (:line-width 2 :style released-button))
("CNCL" :background "lime green" :weight bold :box (:line-width 2 :style released-button))
))
Great on X, less so on tty.
Give it a try ;).

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 "#FF5555")))) --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- in my color theme Leuven (see http://orgmode.org/worg/color-themes/color-theme-leuven.el).

I experimented a lot with background colors and boxes (although the
pseudo-3D is so 90s) and came to the conclusion, that a combination
of brackets and a colorful background looks best.
But it's only a cosmetic issue, if allowing square brackets is too
much work, so be it.
