Vim Update: New Diff Anchor Feature
[2025-07-16]
Vim now supports the 'diffanchors' option to improve the accuracy of diffing large or complex files.
This feature allows users to specify line anchors that split buffers into smaller sections. Each section is diffed separately,
resulting in more meaningful and aligned differences.
This feature was introduced in
patch v9.1.1557. Special thanks to Yee Cheng Chin for the contribution!
Happy Vimming!
