Description

Via the keywords.txt you can highlight different words. What i wish is that you highlight the word "TODO" (and possibly some synonyms) red by default. A new preset is required for those colors (or maybe its there and noone knows). This way you could also highlight DEBUG and others.

Example in scratch editor of elementary OS: todohighlight

Contributor guide

Research direction
Examine the existing keywords.txt mechanism and integrate a default preset for TODO highlighting in the editor's syntax highlighting system.
