Use THIS to Comment Code Like a Boss!

That’s crazy I was literally going through my coding, commenting through my programs and I though to myself “I wish I could change the colors” literally opening YouTube this video is the first video that pops up, thank you so much for reading my mind!

I may also recommend comment anchors! I’ve been using them for awhile and they’re really nice for when I have an enormous file that I’m trying to reverse engineer. It enables me to make foldable sections so I can also just collapse all but the important stuff when it would be a mess to do so otherwise ^^

You can also add your own custom tags in the settings.json!

Also consider the extension "ToDo Tree". Works similar but also gives you comprehensions in sidebar for each type

I have used this extension is past. It is good but there is a better alternative which is comments anchor. After using this there is going back. It allows so much customization just like vs code

I first started using TODO because there is a Geany IDE plugin that picks those comments up as a task list. It stuck with me ever since.

This is NOT the standard way to mark comments.
I have never seen comments like this. The //! or //? also mighter be reserved in some languages: Rust e.g. uses //! for doc comments . The default is to use TODO, FIXME/FIX/ISSUE, HACK etc.

Literally every other plugin uses that syntax.

Nice job explaining it in an easy to understand way :)

Is that it will become more confusing? On our sub conscious, we can instantly recognize the comments as what ever color set on the theme we choose. If it it's on different colour, it might be we skip that up.

This is one of the extensions I want to use but my brain would never see the comments as I’m used to green haha

This doesn't seem to work for javascript comments inside a html file. Inside the script tag is not highlighted for example.

[punkerts]

Write less comments and more self explanation code.

[mattw_dev]

That was a good recommendation - thanks

[kaiso]

Not a good advise. If you are in need of multi colored comments, we know who contributes bad code.

[sampathkumar]

What happens if the code is sent to others 💀 error hell

[jeromewilson]

TBF using comments isn't anything like as important as writing code that can be understood without comments. Still, sometimes you need them and that's a nice feature 🙂

Brothers that never wrote a single comment in their code, where you at?!
