Tip 99: Collect TODO Items in a Register

Return to the top: <<Practical Vim>>

• view all the TODO items at a glance:

  :g/TODO
  

• yank each line containing the word "TODO" into register a:
  • clear register a by qaq, check the content by :reg a
  • :g/TODO/yank A
    • uppercase means appending to the specified register.
    • lowercase means overwriting the register's content.

Copy all the TODO items to the end of the file:

:g/TODO/t$
