Are you having a hard time keeping track of all the tasks you need to do in a project? Are you looking for an easy way to navigate back to them? Then the TODO Highlight extension for Visual Studio Code is the perfect tool for you!

This extension allows you to quickly and easily add TODO and FIXME comments to your code. With those comment tags in place, you can quickly generate a helpful list of all the tasks you need to do. This makes it a breeze to move around your project, find the tasks you need to do, and stay organized.

To get started, all you have to do is search for the “TODO Highlight” extension in the Visual Studio Code marketplace.

  • After you install it, you’ll be able to start adding TODO and FIXME comments to your code.
  • You can then use the “TODO List” command to generate a list of all your tasks. This list will include the line numbers where you added your comments, as well as some helpful details about each task.

The TODO Highlight extension is a great tool for quickly and easily keeping track of your tasks and staying organized. With just a few clicks, you can stay on top of all the TODOs in your project. So, if you’re looking for an easy way to keep your code organized and get things done, look no further than the TODO Highlight extension for Visual Studio Code from here!

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.
