Todo Tree Veyra
Every TODO in your project, in one tree.
Todo Tree Veyra finds every TODO, FIXME, BUG, HACK, XXX and NOTE in your comments and lists them in their own panel, grouped by folder and file or by tag. Click one to jump to it. Tags are coloured in the editor, too. Free, fast, and nothing to install. By the makers of Veyra Studio.
- 🌳 One tree for everything, with a count on the icon so you always know how many are left.
- 🎨 Colour-coded: TODO in amber, FIXME and BUG in red, HACK and XXX in purple, NOTE in blue, in the tree and in your code.
- 👤 Who it's for:
TODO(@sam): … shows @sam next to it. Filter by name to see your own.
- ⚡ Always current: new tags show up as you type, before you even save.
- 📋 Copy as a Markdown checklist, ready to paste into an issue, a pull request or your notes.
Group by tag
The buttons at the top of the panel:
|
|
| Filter |
Show only tags whose text, tag, owner or file contains what you type, like login, FIXME, @sam or src/api |
| Group by Tag / Group by File |
Switch between the two views |
| Refresh |
Look through the workspace again |
| Collapse All |
Fold every group |
| ⋯ → Copy as Markdown Checklist |
Every tag shown, as - [ ] items grouped by tag, with file and line |
Right-click a tag to copy its text.
What counts as a tag
A tag counts when it's written in capitals at the start of a comment, in any language:
// TODO: remember the user
// FIXME(maya): rounding is off ← owner "maya"
/* HACK: retry until the API is fixed */
# NOTE: prices are in cents
<!-- TODO: add the footer -->
- [ ] TODO write the setup guide
Words like TODOS, todo_list or "TODO" inside strings are left alone.
