Features

The extension allows you to:

• Browse and view issues from your teams
• Create new issues
• Update issue status, priority, and assignees
• Switch between organizations and teams
• Access all HighFly features without leaving your editor

TODO Integration

The extension automatically detects TODO comments in your code and helps you convert them into HighFly issues.

How It Works

1. Write TODOs: Add TODO comments in your code (e.g., // TODO: Fix this bug or # TODO: Implement feature)
2. Automatic Detection: TODOs are automatically detected and highlighted in your code
3. Visual Indicators:
   • TODOs are highlighted with visual decorations
   • TODO counts are shown in the status bar
   • Hover over TODOs to see detailed information
4. Create Issues: Hover over a TODO and click "Create HighFly Issue" to convert it to an issue
   • The extension automatically captures code context before and after the TODO
   • Code context is included in the issue with syntax highlighting
   • File path and line numbers are preserved for easy reference

Configuring TODO Features

You can toggle TODO features on or off using the Command Palette:

• Run "Highfly: Toggle TODO Features" to configure which TODO features are enabled (hover, CodeLens, code actions, highlighting)

Usage

Click the HighFly icon in the sidebar or use the Command Palette to access HighFly commands. Select an organization and team to browse issues, create new issues, or update existing ones.
