Note: Enable the Todo plugin to use it.

You can also open task list files generated by code scanning and analysis tools in Issues. For more information, see Show task list files in Issues.

## To-Do Preferences

To add keywords, select Preferences > To-Do > Add. Set an icon and a line background color for the keyword.

- To change the icon and line background color of the selected keyword, select Edit.
- To remove the selected keyword, select Remove.
- To reset the list to predefined keywords, select Reset. All your changes will be permanently lost.
- To determine whether the keywords in the whole project, in the current file, or in a subproject are displayed by default, select the appropriate option in the Scanning scope group.

## Excluding Files from Scanning

To exclude files from scanning, select Project Settings > To-Do in the Projects mode.

Select Add and double-click the placeholder text in Exclude Files to enter a regular expression that matches the path to files to exclude. Use a forward slash (/) as a separator in the path also on Windows.
