Toolbar

The list of actions available in the toolbar consists of:

  • Save action - it allows you to save the content of the left editor when it can be edited.

  • Perform files differencing - used to perform files differencing on request.

  • Go to first modification - used to navigate to the first difference.

  • Go to previous modification - used to navigate to the previous difference.

  • Go to next modification - used to navigate to the next difference.

  • Go to last modification - used to navigate to the last difference.

  • Copy change from right to left - this action copies the selected change from the right editor to the left editor.

  • Copy all non-conflicting changes from right to left - this action copies all non-conflicting changes from the right editor to the left editor. A non-conflicting change from the right editor is a change that does not overlap with a left editor change.

  • Show modification details at word level - because the differences are computed using a line differencing algorithm sometimes is useful to see exactly what words are different in a changed section.

  • Show modification details at character level - useful when you want to find out exactly what characters are different between the two analyzed sections.

  • Ignore whitespaces - Enables or disables the whitespace ignoring feature. Ignoring whitespace means that before the strings are compared they are first normalized and then the whitespace at the beginning and the end of the strings is trimmed.

These actions are available also from the Compare menu.
