How to generate custom "todo" tags in JetBrains IDE?
I have figured out how to download and install new color schemes.
It is after I did this that I noticed that IntelliJ will still color the following line yellow:
// ToDo: implement
Further, this coloration is independent of the color schemes I download. So, I now surmise that it is colored that way due to some logic specific to the Intellij.
I also use PyCharm and CLion, and suspect it would be the same situation across all three.
Here is the question: how do I access these settings/xml/logic and specify that I want say, 5 types of comment tags with colors A, B, C, D, E, such that I can call them by saying stuff like:
// T-A: File read in (t would be type)
// T-B: transform data
// T-C: linear section
// T-B: transform again
// T-D: parallel section
// T-E: MPI update
// T-B: array read in
// T-A: File read out
// etc.
So that I can basically color code the regions of a project, rather than just use the "ToDo" line?
You can go to Preferences | Editor | TODO. And there you can add / remove / edit your own patterns and filters, including color scheme:
After that, in your TODO window there's a Filter button with option to Edit filters, so you can easily find all places in your code with your custom patterns.
