How to enable #TODO/XXX/FIXME highlight in Spyder?

Question

I'm using Spyder for Python coding. However, I cannot have the highlight of #TODO/#FIXME/#XXX to work in Spyder. I have already checked the box in preferences setting. See the attached picture.

Any hint? Thanks.

Answer 1

Add : to your keyword, for example # TODO:

Answer 2

with the new versions (4..) of spyder it works fine without any additions just

#TODO
#FIXME
