The cool part is that this extension shows you the full path to the files with TODO or FIXME on your project.
Bookmarks
With a simple shortcut (ctrl+alt+k) save or remove a bookmark in a file. It saves the line and collumn position of the cursor and at the extension tab you can see all your bookmarks.
The bookmarks are showed aside the line number in the same spot of breakpoints, so be aware that this extension blocks you from use of a breakpoint at the line you bookmarked.
