description

This plugin has been developed in order to make diff mode more useful. Vim always shows a diff for whole lines of a window. But this plugin allows to specify the range and then partially make a spot diff. It is also possible to select two blocks of lines in a single window, to see the differences between them within one file. This plugin provides :Diffthis, :Diffoff and :Diffupdate commands, which are alternative to vim original :diffthis, :diffoff and :diffupdate. For details and demo samples, please visit the following git repository: https://github.com/rickhowe/spotdiff.vim
