TODO/FIXME highlighting

I think it's a common and useful feature, since the mainstream editors (IDEA, VS Code) all support it.

If applicable, add mockups / screenshots to help present your vision of the feature

Personally believe this should be left to a Plugin

[SomeoneToIgnore]

Instead of a plugin, is there a way to allow configuring certain matches being colored differently?

I browse logs in editor, and it helps a lot to highlight ERROR and similar lines in red, WARN and similar in yellow, etc. VSCode provides a Logfile color scheme, but Sublime does not.

Instead, Sublime allows you to add a few directives how to color certain files, example I use for the log files:

 ❯ cat sublime/Logfile.tmLanguage

It would be cool if this would also highlight things like Rust's todo! macro.

[berkus]

Would be nice to have a plugin like VSCode's TODO Highlight v2, which is extremely configurable.

FYI: I put the comment on https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/issues/6013, but dos not seem this feature is implemented in latest releases.

[srihariash999]

Highlighting comments as warnings and important notes might also be useful.

My experiment, it worked:

This is not merged yet, correct?

My experiment, it worked:

Curious - did you directly bake this into Zed, or is this an extension?

Hello, Today I have downloaded on linux, I was a VS code user and i am trying to find better alternative, in vs code there was one extension which i used a lot called TODO tree, where my all todo, fixme, bug are shown in single place, is there anything similer to that here?

[kohltastrophe]

Just checking in to see if there's been any progress or updates on extension capabilities that might support this feature? This is one of the few remaining features impacting my decision to fully adopt Zed, and I'm really eager to see it implemented.

Any insights or timelines from the extension team would be greatly appreciated by those of us who have been patiently waiting for this issue to be resolved. If there are ways we could contribute or assist in bringing this feature to fruition, please let us know.
