Currently, in Sublime Merge, users can view the file differences between any two commits by holding the Ctrl key and clicking on them. However, there is no direct way to quickly compare a specific commit with the current Working Tree in the same manner.
Preferred solution
Implement a feature in Sublime Merge where holding the Ctrl key and clicking on any commit followed by the Working Tree (or vice versa) will immediately display the differences between the two. This should provide a seamless experience for users who want to quickly compare a commit with the current state of their project.
Alternatives
Add a right-click context menu option for the selected commit with an option like "Compare with Working Tree." When chosen, differences between the commit and the Working Tree are shown.
Introduce a toolbar button or icon that, when activated, enables a "Compare Mode" where the next clicked commit and the Working Tree are compared.
