🐞 Debug Marker – VS Code Extension

Debug Marker is a Visual Studio Code extension that helps developers track special debug comments (//##) and breakpoints across their codebase from a single, dedicated panel.

This tool is perfect for developers who want better visibility and organization of debug checkpoints, TODOs, and temporary dev notes — all in one place.

🚀 Features

✅ Debug Comments Tracker (`//##`)

Automatically detects and lists all inline comments like:

// ## TODO: Handle error
// ## FIXME: Debug this crash
// ## NOTE: Refactor this block later

Helps you visually flag important development notes.
Works with most programming languages.

✅ Breakpoint Tracker ( only for JS file )

Lists all active breakpoints from your code.
No more hunting through files — instantly see where you've set your debug points.

Click on any comment or breakpoint in the Debug Marker Panel to jump directly to that line of code.

🧭 Usage

Click the 🧩 Debug Marker icon from the Activity Bar to open the panel.
The extension automatically scans the current workspace when the panel is opened.
The panel displays all //## comments and active breakpoints in a categorized list.
To manually trigger a re-scan, click the Refresh button at the top of the Debug Marker panel.
Click any listed item to instantly jump to its location in the editor.

📁 Example Usage

function saveData(data) {
  // ## TODO: Add input validation
  if (!data) {
    return;
  }
  // ## FIXME: This crashes if `data.name` is missing
  db.save(data);
}

⚙️ Extension Settings
