Todo Highlighter

A fast, lightweight vscode extension that highlights 'todo' keyword and lists all todos in the side bar.

Features

  • Provides a todo snippet for multiple programming languages
  • Highlights the word TODO
  • Lists all todos, accessible via Activity Bar
  • Runs in the browser (vscode.dev / github.dev)

Performance

Built around a single feature, tuned to be invisible:

  • ~5 KB install, zero runtime dependencies
  • Activates after startup, so it never slows down editor boot
  • Highlighting uses one native string scan per edit, no regex engines
  • The todo list reads files in parallel without opening them as documents
  • Big and Binary files are skipped automatically
