Description

I don't use the same org-todo-keywords across all of my agenda files. Currently I can just match :todo with nil, t or a specific string. But "done" might be "constructed" or "read" in certain files.

What would be really nice is to say :todo done or :todo not-done and then match against any "(not) done" item.

Org has buffer-local org{-not}-done-regexp. Not sure how easy (or if it all possible) this could be used to enable this.

Etc.

Hi Krister,

Yes, this is a good idea. From the filtering side, Org QL provides this, as you can write a query like (not (done)) or (todo) (they are equivalent), but somehow I didn't think to provide the same for org-super-agenda.

The implementation should be relatively straightforward; existing code in this package and org-ql should provide helpful examples. I probably won't have time to work on this soon, so patches welcome in the meantime.

Thanks.

Alright, cool. I'll see if I can implement this the way you suggested and then open a PR.
