You can make hjkl work well, but the diffs still suck. Vim shows diffs on a line by highlighting all text from the first change on the line to the last. When you have long lines that is pretty useless (far too much unchanged text is highlighted). I doubt if I'll ever get around to it, but investigating a solution is something I'd like to do. I was thinking (without having looked at the relevant source) that the best attack might be to use long lines, but patch Vim's highlighting of the diffs by inserting code to do diffs between two long lines (which is essentially duplicating what diff does for lines...bit ugly and potentially slow). One reason I haven't looked at it is that my guess is that there would be a lot of hurdles. John -- You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist. Do not top-post!
