[Feature Request] Easier access to "ignore whitespace" command

lonix1 commented 1 year ago

I often look at diffs which seem really complex, except they're not - most of the changes are due to leading/trailing whitespace.

Whitespace can be toggled in Tools > Options > Diff > Ignore Whitespace (-w). I use this often, and I'm sure others do too. It makes diffing so much easier.

It would be better to access it using one of:

a button on the toolbar (BEST option, like in vscode), or
a menu item (maybe in the View menu?), or
a shortcut (I checked, there isn't one)

The toolbar button is the best option. VSCode uses a "paragraph" icon for that.

Can you share a design proposal with a few screenshots to make it more clear where to integrate?

Can be a button in free space of 1, 2 or 3. But 3 makes most sense because it's related to diffing. I'm unsure though, what do you think?

Basically that button must just toggle the Tools > Options > Diff > Ignore Whitespace (-w) option.

Gitkraken:

Look on the top right of the diff panel for the paragraph button.

And same for vscode:
