Highlighter

Touch a bit for it to work with C/C++ files and CMakeLists.txt

• You should clone this tree and build them to fetch the .vsix, and install them yourselves.

Usage

• This extension will highlight a predefined set of keywords in comments such as:
  • TODO
  • BUG
  • NOTE
  • DISCUSS
  • OPTIMIZE
  • FIXME
  • STEP
  • IMPORTANT
  • EXP
  • INFO
  • WARN
  • HACK
  • FIX

Screenshots

Notes

• Also check out QuadSpinner/Highlighter
  • Pro: much more advanced highlight rules.
  • Cons: OOTB experience is not as good as this plugin, although this is a really crude one.
• Reason I considered forking this repo is the code's simplicity, it will be much easier porting to VS2026.
