beartocode / mismerge Goto Github PK

With the same setup as #16, I'd like an option for MisMerge to show empty space for the missing lines instead of collapsing it to a line. So, all three of the windows would have 3 lines, but the missing ones would not have a line number and would be colored differently.

Collapsing missing lines can be very useful if there is a huge block, but can also be confusing, so I'd make it optional.

They might exist already, but I didn't immediately find them.

Let's say I'm in this state:

There is a nice button that allows me to move the insertion of a from the right pane the middle pane.

I'd like there to also be a nice button to move the deletion of c from the left pane to the middle pane.

P.S. I might file a few more FRs shortly. This is probably the most important of them, though.

I'm currently trying to make a diff editor with the ancient https://codemirror.net/5/demo/merge.html. mismerge is the best alternative to it I found, and I thought I'd record my wishlist for it. Thanks for making it! It's a pretty UI.

Let's say the files being compared are long, but differ in only a couple of lines. It'd be nice if the user could collapse the long unchanged portions with MisMerge (and then uncollapse them if they want).
