This feature is well documented in the source code and I have provided my settings below. One of the nicest features, in my option, is the ability to highlight the notes in the source code and color code the icons in the TODO Tree. When you click on any of these notes the source file will automatically open.

There are several icons (see above) which give you different options to filter and display the list of TODO's or FIXME notes. Notice in the sidebar you now have a box for TODO Tree. Install the extension from the link above and test it out by adding a TODO to your source code like this: Clicking a TODO within the tree will open the file and put the cursor on the line containing the TODO. For a few months now, I have been using an extension called TODO Tree which displays a tree view in the explorer pane of VSCode. If you are using VSCode as your IDE, you already know there are a ton of extensions for almost everything you need.
