Description

Via the keywords.txt you can highlight different words.
What i wish is that you highlight the word "TODO" (and possibly some synonyms) red by default. A new preset is required for those colors (or maybe its there and noone knows). This way you could also highlight DEBUG and others.

Example in scratch editor of elementary OS:

Research direction

Start by locating keywords.txt and the text-editor configuration that controls keyword colors. Check how the existing presets are defined and compare the requested behavior with the linked scratch-editor example. Done means TODO is highlighted red by default, with a usable preset for TODO and potentially related words.
