FileDiffs Plugin for Sublime Text 2

Shows diffs - also in an external diff tool - between the current file, or selection(s) in the current file, and clipboard, another file, or unsaved changes.

Installation

1. Using Package Control, install "FileDiffs"

Or:

1. Open the Sublime Text 2 Packages folder

   • OS X: ~/Library/Application Support/Sublime Text 2/Packages/
   • Windows: %APPDATA%/Sublime Text 2/Packages/
   • Linux: ~/.Sublime Text 2/Packages/

2. clone this repo

3. Install keymaps for the commands (see Example.sublime-keymap for my preferred keys)

Add External Diff Tool

(IMPORTANT: Dont forget to make a correct symlink (e.g. in /usr/bin) pointing to the command line tool of your external diff tool)

1. Preferences > Package Settings > FileDiffs > Settings - Default

2. Uncomment one of the examples or write you own command to open external diff tool.

Commands

file_diff_menu: Shows a menu to select one of the file_diff commands. Bound to ctrl+shift+d.

The rest of the commands are not bound by default:

file_diff_clipboard: Shows the diff of the current file or selection(s) and the clipboard (the clipboard is considered the "new" file unless reverse is True)

file_diff_selections: Shows the diff of the first and second selected regions. The file_diff_menu command checks for exactly two regions selected, otherwise it doesn't display this command.

file_diff_saved: Shows the diff of the current file or selection(s) and the saved file.

file_diff_file: Shows the diff of the current file or selection(s) and a file that is in the current project.

file_diff_tab: Shows the diff of the current file or selection(s) and an open file (aka a file that has a tab).
