description

Vim provides diff mode which is useful to see differences between windows. However, it always shows the differences for entire line. And can not compare a sequence of words within a line, and sentences and paragraphs which are separated into several lines. To compare partially everywhere in windows, this plugin provides two groups of commands, which are alternative to vim original :diffthis, :diffoff, and :diffupdate. One is for which allows to select a range of lines to be compared in diff mode. Another is for which allows to select the Visual area to be compared in non-diff normal mode. Both work independently in a tab page. For details and demo samples, please visit the following git repository: https://github.com/rickhowe/spotdiff.vim
