TodoTreeView

TODO View for https://github.com/rxi/lite

Base Functionality

This plugin will display notes that are in the code which start with:

• TODO
• FIX
• FIXME
• BUG
• IMPROVEMENT Extra tags can be added if you add them to the todo_tags config. You can also configure their colors using the tag_colors field if wanted.

You can select between two modes:

• tag - To display the notes organized by the note type
• file - To display the notes organized by file
• file_tag - To display the notes organized by file and note type

You can also define between two scopes:

• all - Will display all the notes in the project and opened files all the time
• focused - Will display the notes only for the currently opened file or all files if no file is open or focused.

The plugin registers the following key bindings:

• ctrl+shift+t - Toggles the visibility of the view
• ctrl+shift+e - Expands all the groups
• ctrl+shift+h - Hides all the groups
• ctrl+shift+b - Filters the notes

You can ignore specific directories or files by using the ignore_paths config.

Instructions

1. To install the plugin just copy the todotreeview.lua file (or the todotreeview-xl.lua if you are using lite-xl) to the folder data/plugins/ of the lite editor.
2. If you want to register extra tags or change the display mode or update any other of the settings you can edit your data/user/init.lua file.
3. If you are using lite-xl run the core:open-user-module command to open the user file. Also use config.plugins.todotreeview instead of just config to modify the multiple settings.
