Some things I think are missing from the diff workflow. Mostly here for discussion and so I don't forget to implement them. Can be broken up into separate issues as necessary (feel free to edit this post).
asm-differ flags
[ ] --make (requires some restructuring of config structs like BuildConfig)
[ ] --watch
[ ] --width
[ ] --threeway=prev
[ ] --threeway=base
[ ] --diff_mode=single
[ ] --compress-matching
[ ] --no-pager
[ ] --format {color,plain,json} (not sure about HTML)
Pager features
[ ] Center the view on the first change at startup
[ ] Navigate between changes with ] and [
[ ] Vim-like search (/ or ? to enter a string, Enter to confirm, n and b to navigate results)
[ ] Something to go to the top or bottom of the entire diff. In Vim this is G and gg but I'm not sure if we want multi-character keystrokes.
UI
[ ] Help page with scroll and search features, maybe h to activate?
[ ] Show number of changes in a status bar somewhere ("1 of 5"). When the view changes, update to the first change in the view (from top to bottom).
[ ] Show delta in percentage since the last change (red "▼x.xx%" or green "▲x.xx%")
[ ] Show difference in bytes (raw bytes or as KB, not sure). asm-differ shows score from max_score down to 0 but I don't find that very useful personally.
