Description
displayTodos.keywords
List of keywords to scan for and their diagnostic severities.
displayTodos.include
Glob patterns for files to include when scanning.
displayTodos.exclude
Glob patterns for files to exclude when scanning. If you only want the opened files to be scanned, exclude everything with **/*.
displayTodos.pattern
Regex pattern used to match keywords. Use {keywords} as a placeholder for the joined keyword alternatives. Must contain two capture groups: group 1 for the matched keyword and group 2 for the trailing text.
displayTodos.caseSensitive
Whether keyword matching is case-sensitive. When true, only exact case matches (e.g. TODO, not todo) are detected.
displayTodos.enable
Enable or disable scanning for TODO comments. When false, all diagnostics are cleared and no scanning occurs. Can be overridden per language (e.g. "[python]": { "displayTodos.enable": false }).
