I use IntelliJ as well for years, but don't underestimate grep -r "# TODO" .

  grep -H "# TODO" file1 dir1/* file2 Is also useful, as it prints the filename and the matching lines.

    if you are using GNU grep, -H option gets enabled by default when there are multiple input files

      Hopefully only when stdout isatty(). Edit: Nope, writes l̶i̶n̶e̶ ̶n̶u̶m̶b̶e̶r̶s̶ file names to output regardless. Boo.

        you mean filename, not line numbers? option -h will disable filename in output

  That’s great! Using ripgrep [1], I think it would even exclude all from your .gitignore by default. I’ll give this a try before adding something to my .vimrc again. 1. https://github.com/BurntSushi/ripgrep https://github.com/BurntSushi/ripgrep

  This only works depending on how diligently you formatted those TODOs. Before you know it your regex explodes. I use IntelliJ as well, so I don't have to think about these problems.

    I mean, how often do you place the four characters "TODO" in your code when you don't mean to mark a TODO? The only common English word I know of that contains that substring is "mastodon", and it'd have to be all-caps.

      You could also include word boundaries if you cared enough. ag '\bTODO\b'

    Does IntelliJ do something smarter than a regex to find TODO?
