Shadow Comments

Leave private notes on your code without modifying the source file.

Shadow Comments allows you to annotate code with "sticky notes" that only you can see.

• Great for reading complex open-source code.
• Great for marking TODOs you don't want to commit to Git.
• Your annotations do not touch the actual file.

Features

• Private Annotations: Add comments that exist only in your VS Code editor.
• Toggle Visibility: Hide all comments with one click to see clean code.
• Persistent: Comments stick around even after you restart VS Code.

Usage

1. Click on any line of code.
2. Press Shift + Alt + C (Mac: Shift + Cmd + C).
3. Type your note and hit Enter.
