Hello, First of all thank you very much for meld. It's a great tool and I use it all the time to view svn differences. I did have a question about file comparisons, however. I've noticed that there is no support for selecting differences, iterating through them, and merging them left or right via the keyboard. Is this something that's planned for sometime in the near future?
What would be very nice is a WinMerge like means by which hitting a keyboard shortcut would select the nearest difference to the cursor (either above or below), with subsequent key presses selecting the next difference in either direction. When the user has the difference selected it would be highlighted a different color and an additional keyboard shortcut could be used to copy the differences to the left or right. WinMerge uses Alt+Up and Alt+Down as their default means of iterating through searches and Alt+Left and Alt+Right as ways of merging changes either direction. If you've ever used it before it can get quite addicting as a way to quickly merge files while viewing all changes with effectively 4 keys on the keyboard (usually holding down ALT most of the time). Obviously for meld a better default keymapping would be to keep CTRL+D and CTRL+E around as the default way to iterate through the changes. -- Philip Lowman
