Todo Genie
Find and browse every TODO, FIXME, HACK and other comment marker across your codebase in a single tree view — then jump straight to the line with one click.
Quick Start
Install from the Marketplace
Open the Todo Genie view from the Activity Bar
Click any item to jump to that comment
The view scans the whole workspace on startup and refreshes automatically as you edit, create or delete files.
Features
Whole-codebase scan — finds tags in every text file, honouring files.exclude / search.exclude and skipping binaries
Group by tag or file — toggle from the title bar; file mode nests into a folder tree
Collapse or expand all — one title-bar button toggles the whole tree
Click to navigate — open the file at the exact line
Live updates — edits trigger a debounced rescan
Configurable tags — scan for your own markers
