Todo Tag Manager (VS Code Extension)

Scans your workspace for marks like TODO:, FINISHED:, etc. and shows them in a sidebar tree. You can change a mark type directly from the sidebar, and the extension can highlight marks in editors.

Features

  • Sidebar view listing all configured marks across the workspace
  • Configurable/custom marks via todoTagManager.marks
  • Change an item’s mark from the sidebar (e.g. TODO: → FINISHED:)
  • Scans Jupyter notebooks (.ipynb) as well (by searching the notebook file contents)
  • Highlight marks in visible editors

Settings

  • todoTagManager.marks: tags to scan for (case-sensitive; default: TODO, FIXME, FINISHED). The extension matches them as TAG:.
  • todoTagManager.doneMarks: marks treated as “done” for styling
  • todoTagManager.includeGlobs / todoTagManager.excludeGlobs: scope the scan
  • todoTagManager.highlightEnabled: enable/disable highlighting

Using the sidebar

  • Click an item to open it.
  • Right click an item → Todo Tag Manager: Change Mark to change its type.
  • Use the view toolbar’s + button (Todo Tag Manager: Add Tag) to add a new custom tag.
  • Use the view toolbar’s gear button (Todo Tag Manager: Open Settings) to quickly edit your tags in Settings UI.

Note: marks are matched case-sensitively and only in the exact form TAG: (letters/numbers/underscore, followed by :). In Settings you can enter either TAG or TAG: (they’ll be normalized to TAG). For notebooks, opening an item opens the notebook and jumps to the cell (best effort).

Usage (dev)

  1. Open this folder in VS Code
  2. Press F5 to run the extension (Extension Development Host)
