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:

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.
When you have todo: in your comments, intellij can detect it and show it in the todo list. How can I make some custom markers to be recognized? For example, config:.
Look in Settings, in Editor / TODO. You can set patterns and other options for this feature there.
This is like a TODO. See the official IntelliJ documentation; https://www.jetbrains.com/help/idea/2016.1/using-todo.html.
Is it possible to wrap long comment lines in IntelliJ in javascript files? I have turned on line wrapping as shown in the settings below, but when I do a code reformat, it doesn't wrap the line.
It's not supported yet on code reformatting, added a new feature request, please vote.
I'm using IntelliJ 14 on a Mac, which has a Fill Paragraph command. Access it via the awesome universal Command-Shift-A action search feature. Works like a charm!
How to show Quick Help for the methods which we wrote ...?
Like for inbuilt function when we right click on it & Click Quick Help then we get all info about that method like that I want to do for user defined methods so that any one come to know that method takes which parameter and each parameter for which purpose?
For more explanation, see these two images:
Here is a solution for that. Also check apple documentation. You might have to create document set and install it in Xcode.
Edit: Here is another similar post, How do you populate the Xcode 4 "Option+Click" popover?
There is an open source tool called appledoc which helps with this. You can provide your own documentation in the header files and then run the appledoc script which will (depending on your settings) generate the docsets, install them into Xcode, create a HTML for the documentation as well as rss feeds so that changes to the documentation can be published.
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.

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
