One feature I liked with the Java Extension pack was that TODO were put in the problem tab so they were easy to see. I asked if it was possible to implement a similar feature gobally to VSCode but was kindly told extensions were already doing it and pointed to said extensions. None of the extensions I was told were doing what I asked so I did it myself.
This extension scans the opened document for comments with the various keywords (TODO, FIXME, BUG & HACK by default.). Each of those comments are then turned into a diagnostic and put in the problem tab.
Comments are recognized whether they appear on a separate line
or at the end of a line of code.
Default keywords are provided but you can extend this list to your liking.
- Add support for languages not using // for comments.
Known issues are listed here.

You can download the extension directly from Github, the VSCode marketplace, the Open VSX registry or directly from VSCode
