If there are whole line that are different, you can cut and paste between windows (vimdiff colorises too so its easy to see what's different and what's not). It can be even simpler use 'dp' (as Diff Put), where you want propagate the difference to the other file and do 'do' (Diff Obtain) to put change from the other file. There is much more (yeah, it's vim after all :), see :help vimdiff . -r -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
