14 DESCRIPTION
|
|
1698
|
15 Vimdiff starts Vim on two (or three or four) files. Each file gets its
|
|
|
16 own window. The differences between the files are highlighted. This
|
|
|
17 is a nice way to inspect changes and to move changes from one version
|
|
|
18 to another version of the same file.

|
22 When started as gvimdiff the GUI will be started, if available.

|
24 In each window the 'diff' option will be set, which causes the differ-
|
|
|
25 ences to be highlighted.
|
|
|
26 The 'wrap' and 'scrollbind' options are set to make the text look good.
|
|
|
27 The 'foldmethod' option is set to "diff", which puts ranges of lines
|
|
|
28 without changes in a fold. 'foldcolumn' is set to two to make it easy
|
|
|
29 to spot the folds and open or close them.

|
32 Vertical splits are used to align the lines, as if the "-O" argument
|
|
376
|
33 was used. To use horizontal splits instead, use the "-o" argument.
