I don't see a big need for a 'merge specific line' feature. Both panes of
meld are full text editors. Simply highlight the line in one side, copy/cut,
move the cursor to the right position in the other side, paste. A merge
specific line feature would be complicated to impliment, especially because
it's not clean in all situations (modified [blue] blocks).

While a 'merge specific line' feature would possibly reduce that particular
scenario by a few clicks, is it worth the effort/complication of code? How
often do most people need to do this operation? Isn't the existing
functionality sufficient to handle this case?

Just my 2 cents.
