Comment Highlighting #1492

Closed Hosch250 closed 7 years ago

Hosch250 commented 7 years ago

Description

Sometimes I'll use a todo or bug comment to mark something that isn't completed while I work on something else. It would be nice to have a Resharper-style highlight of the comment.

Expected behavior

This should match comments either with a literal or regex match, and the user should be able to specify the literal match, how to match it, and the font color for the comment. R#'s version changes the color for and bolds the entire comment block, but I find that difficult to read, so perhaps it could just set the color and font weight for the matched text?

@Hosch250 it is a good suggestion, I'm also wondering if you could log it as an issue on https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/ because it feels jetbrains could implement that small bit of support quite easily in their tool too.

If it is something you'd like to take a look at, I gather it wouldn't be too difficult to parse all comments using the untyped AST to get the ranges of text you are interested in.

This project is deprecated, all bug fixes and feature requests should be posted to VFT repository.

About comments, unfortunately parser AST does not include them.
