Works in my patch with #todo and TODO. Adding ToDo is trivial, but
then maybe it should be "todo" in any case combination?.
My patch also supports #done and DONE
> * Support a category tag. Can't remember how Delphi specified this.

It was -cAccounting. Done in my patch.
I also added Delphi's -oOwner tag

Done.
> * Show them in a list.
Already works
> * List must be sortable by: Unit name, Description, Category and Priority
This would be great. It's quite doable, but I don't have a clue about
how to paint the sort arrows in the column headers in a way that works
on any platform.
The list could have a filtering option, also.

Works.

Would be nice, also to switch from Todo to Done. This is a little bit
more tricky. I guess I'd have to load the source in an editor and
change the Todo item?

Amen. The only trick with Enter is that when the memo has focus, it
naturally eats Enter keys, but I agree that there should be a quick
way to validate the entry (Very annoying under D7, you have to grab
your mouse or tab until you get to the ok button).
I would add:
- Printing (If this is available from the IDE) or at least exporting
the list to text or HTML.
Regards,
Gerard.
