Highlight TODO and similar keywords in comments and strings
To highlight keywords turn on hl-todo-mode
in individual buffers
or use the global variant global-hl-todo-mode
.
You can customize the keywords that are recognized by customizing
hl-todo-keyword-faces
either through the customization interface
or by setting the variable directly in your init file, for example:
(setq hl-todo-keyword-faces
'(("TODO" . "#FF0000")
("FIXME" . "#FF0000")
("DEBUG" . "#A020F0")
("GOTCHA" . "#FF4500")
("STUB" . "#1E90FF")))
This package also provides commands for moving to the next or
previous keyword, to invoke occur
with a regexp that matches all
known keywords, and to insert a keyword. If you want to use these
commands, then you should bind them in hl-todo-mode-map
, e.g.:
(keymap-set hl-todo-mode-map "C-c p" #'hl-todo-previous)
(keymap-set hl-todo-mode-map "C-c n" #'hl-todo-next)
(keymap-set hl-todo-mode-map "C-c o" #'hl-todo-occur)
(keymap-set hl-todo-mode-map "C-c i" #'hl-todo-insert)
See this list on the Emacswiki for other packages that implement the same basic features, but which might also provide additional features that you might like, but which I donโt deem necessary.
See FAQ and Common Issues if something isnโt working as expected.
