is it possible to group the %TODO commands by an additional command?
Or is it possible to define a new command that behaves like %TODO in the
structural view?
My Problem:
I'm writing some text, then I have to stop for some reason so i write a
comment like %TODO: add here the evaluation of how high a whale can fly. <-
works fine no problems.
now I'm re-reading some text and think about something that could be added
there, but I don't know if to do so. so i write: %TODO: go ask my boss about
this. <- works fine no problems.
The real problem occurs to me when I have about 10-15 comments like this in
one file and a oncoming meeting. It wuold be very nice if I could group all
those "ask.." question in the structural view (like %TODOs and labels are
shown) to see them on the first look.
This could not only be helpful for questions but also for %TODO: RESEARCH:
lokk for book "how to meet a mother"
or similar.
In the above line you see the possibility for a TODO tag the other possibility
that comes to my mind would be a seperate keyword like %ASK: with the same
behaviour as %TODO but with another group.
I tried searching the preferences and using some unknown little search engine,
but I was not able to find anything comparable.
I hope you could help me or give me some hints.
Thanks in advance

The %TODO feature is only very simple, so currently neither of your ideas will
work. It's not possible to have different types of todos and group them. Also
defining something like %ASK with special meaning is not possible (it'll be
just a plain TeX comment).
As a workaround:
Define %TODO RESEARCH and %TODO ASK
They'll all show up in the TODO section.
If you only want to view only the one or the other, use Edit->Searching->Find
Dialog and search for TODO ASK. The results are then shown in the search
results tab of the bottom panel.

I opened a feature request to keep it in mind. However, please note that this
is not a high priority at the moment. So I cannot comment on if and when it
will be implemented.
