I can speak of Eclipse, you can customize it. Click on Window -> Preferences, and search for General -> Editors -> Structured Text Editors -> Task tags, or for Java -> Compiler -> Task tags (there might be some additional ones like for JavaScript, PHP, StatET, etc.) TODO, FIXME, XXX I use some additional ones … Read more
