* Prerequisites
This module has no prerequisites
* Features
** Making Items
You can make a TODO item by simply writing
+ =TODO=
For things that need to be done, just not today.
+ =HACK=
For tidbits that are unconventional and not intended uses of the
constituent parts, and may break in a future update.
+ =FIXME=
For problems that will become bigger problems later if not fixed ASAP.
+ =REVIEW=
for things that were done hastily and/or hasn't been thoroughly
tested. it may not even be necessary!
+ =NOTE=
For especially important gotchas with a given implementation,
directed at another user other than the author.
+ =DEPRECATED=
For things that just gotta go and will soon be gone.
+ =BUG=
For a known bug that needs a workaround
+ =XXX=
For warning about a problematic or misguiding code
** Using Items
To see all of the TODO items in a project you can use
=SPC p t=
This will bring up a buffer you can use to quickly jump to the item
* Configuration
To add your own ITEMS you would need to configure them using
~hl-todo-keyword-faces~
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp :tangle no
;; the default
(setq hl-todo-keyword-faces
`(("TODO" . ,(face-foreground 'warning))
("FIXME" . ,(face-foreground 'error))
("NOTE" . ,(face-foreground 'success))))
`(("FOO" . ,(face-foreground "MY COLOUR HEX CODE"))
("BAR" . ,(face-foreground 'my-colour-var))))
#+END_SRC
You can also add keybindings to jump and configure the next TODO item in the buffer using
| function | description | proposed binding |
|--------------------+-----------------------------------+------------------|
| ~hl-todo-previous~ | move to the last TODO item | =C-c t p= |
| ~hl-todo-next~ | move to the next TODO item | =C-c t n= |
| ~hl-todo-occur~ | list all TODO items in the buffer | =C-c t o= |
| ~hl-todo-insert~ | make a new TODO item | =C-c t i= |
this can be mapped like this
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp :tangle no
(map! :prefix "C-c t"
"p"#'hl-todo-previous
"n"#'hl-todo-next
"o"#'hl-todo-occur
"i"#'hl-todo-insert)
#+END_SRC
