[Feature request] Highlight the word "TODO" in text editor #3827

Via the keywords.txt you can highlight different words. What i wish is that you highlight the word "TODO" (and possibly some synonyms) red by default. A new preset is required for those colors (or maybe its there and noone knows). This way you could also highlight DEBUG and others.

Example in scratch editor of elementary OS: todohighlight

Highlighting in comments has just been removed. You can use the find tool to 'find' your TODO's

Hm you are right, that was mine :D Its just an idea, close it if you dont like it.

I personally would like different colour comments.

In notepad++ you can get three different colourings.

// blah

/* blah2 */

/** blah3 **/

I'll have a look later, and see if this is possible in RSyntaxTA.

Yep, comments get no "Arduino" colouring since 94d1829 because of #3532. If you can out with a solution, it's more than welcome

As an Eclipse user, I drive the most value out of TODOs by reviewing them as a list where I can click on any to jump to the code in question.

Before diving into highlighting I figured it would be faster to add the following: typing "tags" or "tasks" will prompt a search through the sketch code (local libraries and assembly files included). The results are grouped by file. Possible improvement: cache the results and flush when memory is putting pressure or when the source file is altered (pending a lifecycle management of the editor contents)
