Request: Colorless Match

Open Caraamon opened this issue 1 year ago • 3 comments

Sometimes I want to edit something using base program's code coloring, which the colors used in difference highlighting can make difficult to see, so I'd like to request an option to have it match without colors, so it still synchronizes scrolling.

@Caraamon , Let me see if I understand you correctly - You would like to have an option that disables all diffs coloring so only the diff symbols in the margin remain?

I wouldn't mind the symbols, but the main thing I'd like is the simultaneous scrolling, so if something breaks in the new code, I can look at what was there previously, rather than having to manually scroll the original or do a find.

I understand and will consider your request but I need to find the best way to implement that. Meanwhile you could change the coloring from the plugin settings so it does not mask your source text highlighting.

@Caraamon , A year has passed and I have a problem recalling details of your request. I think ComparePlus can fit your specific needs as it is now - just activate Auto re-compare on Change option and alter the colors so they do not 'hide' your language styling. Please correct me if I am wrong or I miss something. Otherwise I will consider this feature request pointless and close it. Thank you.
