Usually I have exactly two windows open when I want to do this, and the following command starts diff: :windo diffthis After making some changes, you might want: :windo diffupdate When finished, turn off: :diffoff! It's also handy to know that you can move the windows around: Ctrl-W K (move current window up) Ctrl-W L (move current window to right) > You can send me encrypted messages using my public key: > ...
