Assign colours to categories

[earcanal]

As a user, I'd like to assign colours to categories so I can easily see BUG, FIXME, TECHDEBT, BOOKMARK etc.

Hi @earcanal thanks for the ideas (this and #33 ) definately things to consider...

[dokato]

@earcanal did you see any other addin that creates coloured markers? I'm wondering if this is even possible.

[earcanal]

Sorry, that's way beyond my API knowledge! If you could do #33 then maybe there's a way to colour cell values. I thought this might be it

https://gt.rstudio.com/reference/data_color.html

but I don't think that's what's used to present tabular data in RStudio. Maybe there's another way ...

[dokato]

hah, here ends mine too, so I passed that question forwards: rstudio/rstudioapi#178, we'll see what they'll reply

This feature would be very useful indeed, I'm looking forward to it.

VScode, for example, has a great extension that does that: https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=ExodiusStudios.comment-anchors

@dokato , I have a question, why TODO and FIXME are highlighted in the editor with a blue color, while the other tags (NOTE, BUG, REVIEW, ...) are not?

Would it be possible to extend the behavior to all the tags as default? It would be really helpful.

Thank you

@GitHunter0 The highlighting of TODO and FIXME is a feature of RStudio itself and has nothing to do with the addin.

[GitHunter0]

@BastiHz , that makes total sense. But then maybe looking at RStudio's code might help to solve this request

Would definitely increase ergonomy of the package, at least in RStudio. One would need to alter the .rstheme I guess like follows:
rstudio/rstudio#4673

Any update on @GitHunter0 's idea/request?

[GitHunter0]

@petercla0119 , my suggestion is to migrate to Positron IDE, it is so much better than RStudio.
