Doom-emacs: Doom doesn't respect org-todo-keywords?

[JonathanReeve]

What did you expect to happen?

I expect to open my org agenda and have it display items marked TODO, but not items marked CANCELED.

What actually happened?

It displays items marked CANCELED.

Additional details:

• Include a link to your private config
  My doom-emacs configs

I think these are the relevant lines in my config:

(setq org-agenda-skip-scheduled-if-done t
         org-agenda-skip-deadline-if-done t
         org-todo-keywords '((sequence "TODO" "WAITING" "|" "DONE" "CANCELED"))
         org-todo-keywords-for-agenda '((sequence "TODO" "WAITING" "|" "DONE" "CANCELED"))
)

• Include any warnings or errors logged to *Messages* (use M-x view-echo-area-messages to see it).

No relevant messages there, as far as I can tell.

I do, however, notice that org-todo-keywords-for-agenda gets set back to this after I run org-agenda. It has my custom value when it starts up, but after I run org-agenda, it gets set to this:

org-todo-keywords-for-agenda is a variable defined in ‘org.el’.
Its value is
("TODO" "PROJ" "STRT" "WAIT" "DONE" "KILL" "[ ]" "[-]" "[?]" "[X]" "FOUND" "READING" "CANCELED")

Steps to reproduce:

1. Have items in your Org Agenda files that contain CANCELED items. Set org-agenda-skip-deadline-if-done and ...schedule-if-done.
2. Open org-agenda
3. Notice that you can see them.

You need to wrap your configuration in (after! X ...) blocks, where X is the name of the package you want to configure. In this case (after! org ...). Without this, your settings are evaluated too early (immediately), which are likely to be overwritten by Doom's own defaults. after! ensures the code runs after the package (and doom's defaults) are loaded.

The only exception are file and directory variables, like org-directory or org-attach-id-dir.
