If I put TODO comments in my code to mark things I still need to finish, is there an easy way to get a list of all of those? For that matter, how do you search all the code in a given category for a given string?

Searching for strings inside the code you can do by selecting a string and press ALT-Shitf-e. For your purpose you might have a look at Object>>flag: This way you mark your code this way
self flag: #todo
Then you can select todo and press Alt-n to get all senders of this symbol.

Actually, I use:
self toDo: 'Not forget to refactor this!!! It's ugly!!! bla bla bla...'.
And then I look up for senders of toDo: with alt+n
The implementation is:
Object>>toDo: aString "Do nothing, just annotation" ^self
I think it's more descriptive than just a Symbol flag. But, it all depends of what you are used to.

You don't need to pass the string to the method. The string is obviously a comment. So
"Not forget to refactor this!!! It's ugly!!! bla bla bla..." self flag: #todo
serves the same purpose. The difference is that flag: is already defined in the image. Have a look at ProtoObject>>flag: And you can easily separate your issues by severities than just having todo.

Select "todo" without the #? Either way, pressing alt-n (I believe that's cmd-n on a Mac) doesn't do anything. I also tried pressing the "senders" button. That wants me to choose either "initialize", "flag:" or "new".

Mark, I just tried this out (neat trick!); it worked for me in an OmniBrowser, regular old SystemBrowser, or a Workspace by highlighting [todo] (no brackets!) and pressing Alt-N (windows). It listed just the senders of #todo...
