Feature Request: Unlimited Custom Keywords (or more, at least) #25

Open brianjlacy opened 5 years ago

brianjlacy commented 5 years ago

It would be much more useful if we could add a variety of additional custom keyword patterns. Having only four possible options is pretty limited!

I've been thinking about it a lot, and it's pretty much in my backlog for this project. It's just a matter of finding some free time to work on it. Hopefully soon.

+1 for this.

Loving the extension, but would love for the ability to set, for example.. !!; bug; error (Semicolon, comma, space delimited?)

and have them all recognized as the important type, etc.

I do wonder how difficult it may be to allow the user to add their own entirely custom comment tags and colors?

Actually, I'm working on a new extension that has unlimited custom classification tokens made by the user (with other more features). I'm currently working on some loose nuts to tight before I can release a beta.

Looks fantastic - love the new display. Will there be any ability to feature multi-line comments?

I imagine you could do what I'm suggesting like this..

//Bug : Fix this bug in the next build
/*
Details about this bug
Spreading over multiple lines
Using a multi line comment
*/

Though, it would give you two comments to collapse.

It would be fantastic if you could write as..

/* 
Bug : Fix this bug in the next build
Details about this bug
Spreading over multiple lines
Using a multi line comment
*/

Where the comment was collapsible, showing as [BUG] Fix this in the next build in the style of the classification, even if it were collapsed or expanded. I would suggest that the multi-line component (everything after the classification line/title) colour should be customised separately from the title line.

Either way, very keen for the new plugin - definite add for me.

One of the favorite extensions. I looked at the sources of the extension and came to the conclusion that it is quite possible to implement several tokens (set in the existing form through a comma, space, etc.) quite possible.
