About TODO Highlight

VSCODE-TODO-HIGHLIGHT

License: MIT Build Status Version Installs Ratings

Highlight TODO, FIXME and other annotations within your code.

Sometimes you forget to review the TODOs you've added while coding before you publish the code to production. So I've been wanting an extension for a long time that highlights them and reminds me that there are notes or things not done yet.

Hope this extension helps you as well.

NOTICE

Many report that the List highlighted annotations command is not working, make sure you have the file types included via todohighlight.include.

Config

TODO:,FIXME: are built-in keywords. You can override the look by customizing the setting.

To customize the keywords and other stuff, <kbd>command</kbd> + <kbd>,</kbd> (Windows / Linux: File -> Preferences -> User Settings) open the vscode file settings.json.
