Files Diff/ Compare - Feature Request #221

Open humphreylee opened 4 years ago

humphreylee commented 4 years ago

This is bit far fetched feature request - files compare . This is one of the most useful feature/ plugin in many other text editors that I tried. I'm aware that multi-tab/window feature is not being considered at the moment, thus implementation could be a challenge. Would you please consider this feature? Thanks.

Sorry, but yes this will not be considered in recent years. It will take me some years to support more files (issues labeled with "lexer"), which would be more useful for most users.

There are better tools for diff/compare/merge: TortoiseMerge from TortoiseGit or TortoiseSVN TortoiseGitMerge

Meld Merge

Okay, thanks. For record, for simple text file comparison, WinMerge is another option on WinX.
