TODO tool window
CLion constantly scans your project for comments in the source code that match specific TODO patterns and displays them in the TODO tool window.
The TODO tool window () consists of the following tabs:
Project: Shows TODO items for the whole project.
Current File: Shows TODO items for the currently open file in the editor.
Scope Based: Shows TODO items for a certain scope, selected from the list.
Current Changelist: Shows TODO items in the active changelist (available only if version control integration is enabled).
