This may be something that I use more than others, but as I’m building (or refactoring) new apps and functionalities, I then to add a lot of “TODOs” to my code when some code needs others things done first or when I need to stop doing that to do other stuff first.
What I usually do is just create a comment that starts with TODO like this:
if some_condition:
# TODO: create this functionally later
pass
On IntelliJ and PyCharm, comments like this are highlighted in yellow (on dark themes, don’t know how they look like on lighter themes):
It would be really good if the IDE could also hightlight comments that starts with a certain pattern. My suggestions would be:
# TODO: hightlight lines like this
""" TODO: and also like this """
""" TODO: Probably hightlight the entire comment
* When uses patterns like this, or maybe always
"""
# TODO maybe don't hightlight this (without :)
# And also don't hightlight when TODO is not the first word
# Neither hightlight todo (lower case), since "todo" is a common portuguese word (this happend a lot in IntelliJ)
If I may add a second related feature request, it would be great if there was a way of “managing” TODOs with a section listing them, like another tab in the lower panel. Something like this:
