Here's a scenario. I've been working on a redux app and (a) I am new at it and (b) haven't touched it in a week. So I'm going through it and addin...

I'm not sure if you're aware, but I guess its worth mentioning. I've had the same issue -- still haven't found a great tool that solves each part of the problem. So I kind of went another way.

I currently use two tools to help make my TODOs stand out in my editor.

  1. Better Comments: Does exactly what it says. Takes your comments and gives them a better syntax highlight, making them stand apart from the rest.

  2. TODO Highlight - It highlights the word "TODO:" inside of any comment, making that stand out even further.

For your purposes where you want to pull up each todo inside a project or file, I suggest just doing a search through the entire project for "TODO" via the "Find in Files" menu option to using the shortcut mac: (SHIFT + CMD + F) / pc: (SHIFT + CRTL + F). Search for the word "TODO" and you'll get every todo in the document.

Kind of a round about way, but then again I really don't use TODOs as often as I thought I would. Maybe it's because I've found my work around to be a bit cumbersome, but in either case, maybe this will help someone. Good Luck.

Numbered Bookmarks is pretty much same as Bookmarks but it has some extra features. Hope someone else has better suggestion.

BTW it is not clear of what you need. You need to explain it a little bit.
