Is there a way to make Qt Creator recognize TODO and FIXME comments, so that I can access a compiled list somewhere of all these comments?
QtCreator is stable enough and a comfortable IDE, although compile/debug cycles are slower on Windows than with Visual Studio. It doesn't have all the fancy features Visual Studio offers, but after using it for a while I just realized I wasn't missing them.
Qt Creator is a cross-platform integrated development environment (IDE) built for the maximum developer experience. Qt Creator runs on Windows, Linux, and macOS desktop operating systems and allows developers to create software across desktop, mobile, and embedded platforms.
Yes, go to Help / About Plugins... menu, under the Utilities section you will find the Todo plugin, so you simply have to enable it. After restarting Qt Creator you will see the To-Do Entries button on the bottom of the main window, which opens up a panel listing all TODO, FIXME and so on comments.
The plugin has some minor issues, the one I remember is that international characters are not displayed correctly, but in general it works quite well.
There is a Todo plugin which enables this feature. It is included since version 2.5 (https://blog.qt.io/blog/2012/05/09/qt-creator-2-5-0-released/)
