Cursorbind affects cursor position. With scrollbind set, you can scroll both windows in a diff view together. With cursorbind, if you then switch windows, the cursor does not move vertically when it reaches the new window. In other words, either of these will do the same thing in a 2-window setup: do <C-W><C-W>dp Without cursorbind, when you jump to the other window, the cursor remains wherever it was the last time the cursor was in that window. Or, if the window has scrolled far enough, the cursor will be at the top/bottom of the window, even if the cursor was in the middle of the other window when you left it. > > So yes, using :diffoff! is easier to stop diff mode. > Much easier. But it also messes with other settings like 'wrap' and 'foldmethod', so I like to do this to start diffmode instead: :tab split :diffsplit other_file And this to end it: :tabclose -- -- You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist.
