I have line of code which may be not optimized enough, so i want to keep track of them and later try to improve them. Is there any way to tag code and later find them easily by their tag name?
Yes, just use
//todo optimize code
your code
or
//fixme fix bug
your code
and later you can find them in the TODO tool section at the bottom of the IDE. here todo and fixme tags are keywords. You can add more customized tag in File->settings->TODO.

I just created a new static web project using the Bootstrap template. In my html files it is marking the names of Bootstrap css classes as typos. Surely the worlds smartest IDE is better than that? How do I make it aware of Bootstrap classes? I know I can disable spell checking but that seems like an awful solution.
Please follow WI-4762 for updates to be notified on any progress with it. For now, I can only suggest to either disable the spell checker or add the words shown as typos to dictionary
I remember that there was a tag which made it possible to fold multiple lines.
e.g. like if you would fold down a for loop:
to
Is there a tag which makes this possible? Or is this an IDE specific tag?
Depends on the language and ide/editor.
In C# there are #region's that can be used for this. In some editors you can enable folding on all scopes (brackets). In some editors you can teach the editor to enable folding on comments with brackets in them ("//{" "//}").
In most cases this is an editor option that has to be enabled and configured.
What editor are you using? (and what language is this, JavaScript?)
For netbeans checkout the following: (You don't need to go past the first one)
http://wiki.netbeans.org/FaqCustomCodeFolds - Manual method
http://wiki.netbeans.org/SurroundWithCodeFolding - Code Template
https://ui.netbeans.org/docs/ui/code_folding/cf_uispec.html#custom - Talks about the how they work.
Example from first article:
// <editor-fold>
Your code goes here...
// </editor-fold>
Is it possible to setup IDEA to be able to quick insert // TODO lines? For example keybinding or code completion pattern? I didn't find anything.
Check out Live Templates feature of IntellyJ. I hope it'll satisfy your needs.
Here's a link to tutorial video on how to create one.
Since 1.3 Android Studio ships with a set of live templates.
One of which does exactly what you want.
In order to activate it, simply type todo followed by a tab. Also works with fixme and stopship.
Live Template fixed my problem.
I wanted to add a custom todo comment in intellij with my initials and date so i did this:
// TODO: $date$ [name] $todo$

I use the Dojo framework, which I load from an url.
How should I deal with the 'dojo' was used before it was defined errors, and the alike?
Yes, my feeling really get hurt, when running code through JSlint.
Perhaps you can put something like
/* globals dojo */
in the beggining of your file to tell JSLint that dojo exists?
I personaly use JSHint (a fork of JSLint that is less nitpicky) instead and one of the preconfigured options is support for Dojo.
Sounds like you need to put Dojo first in your JavaScript. The message suggests that you have an ordering problem.
Don't take it personally. You are not your code. Just make it better, learn something, and don't do it again.
If you scroll all the way down to the bottom there is a "predefined" textbox. Simply put in any of the variables you need into there (comma separated).
Does Flash Builder support tasks list?
I'm testing Flash Builder for PHP, and I can see my // TODO in PHP code but not in AS or MXML.
I found this plugin:
http://www.richinternet.de/blog/index.cfm?entry=911D4B57-0F0D-5A73-AF6F4D4D04099757
but it's very old.
Do you know how can I see my TODO list in AS3 and MXML code with Flash Builder 4.5?
[UPDATE]:
I've installed the plugin from richinternet.de and it works in Flash Builder 4.5 for PHP.
But it's very poor, it only detects the TODOs and FIXMEs if you open the file, it doesn't search all your src for TODOs and FIXMEs.
And also is case insensitive, that's a problem for me, because in spanish "todo" means "everything", so I can't use the word todo in my comments now.
I can't understand how Adobe doesn't include a plugin for this after so many years developing Flash Builder !! they are adding TODO comments when you generate a handler, method, etc !!! I don't know how that can be useful if you don't show it in the tasks!
Get the TODO/FIXME extension for Flash Builder at the following link, and give it a try.
http://www.richinternet.de/blog/index.cfm?entry=911D4B57-0F0D-5A73-AF6F4D4D04099757
Another link at: http://blog.winnemconsulting.com/2011/08/08/fbtoolkit-taskfixmetodo-plugin-for-flex-and-flashbuilder/
How it works: the plugin parses every MXML/AS file when opened and searches comments (both MXML and AS comments) for TODO and FIXME tokens (this search is case insensitive, so it also finds todo). The same action takes place after a file has been saved. If a token is found, a new Task gets generated with its message set to the comment and displayed in the Task View (To open Task View choose Window-->Other Views...-->Basic-->Tasks in Flex Builder 2 standalone and Window-->Show View-->Other-->Basic-->Tasks when running Flex Builder 2 as a plugin in Eclipse). Note: to really delete a Task you have to delete the comment - deleting a Task from the Task View does not kill the comment, so after you save the file the Task will reappear.
For completeness on this question:
I do agree with you on the fact that it is truely amazing and inconceivable that such features do not exist in Flash Builder by default.
There is another alternative, though it's not free (It does have a 30 day trial though)
It is called SourceMate http://www.elementriver.com/sourcemate
The product has loads of other cool features, be sure to check the feature list.
I commented above on the accepted answer, but I'll relist here...
This post is now seriously outdated :(. I would like to offer a different answer... We'll say starting with Flash Builder 4.6.
It's from a great article (from the Adobe Cats) about how to add Task Markers (and Bookmarks) to your Flash Builder Project Files.
You can always search in the solution for "TODO":) And in the results window, press F5 the next time you want to see TODOs.
Best solution is to install the plugins mentioned previously via the software install menu under Help > Install Software.
WARNING - Don't get the SourceMate plugin if you have FB 4.7 - it isn't supported and doesn't look like it will be soon. Check this page for updates: http://support.elementriver.com/discussions/sourcemate
