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. -- David On Thu, Feb 10, 2011 at 1:45 AM, Kai <[email protected]> wrote: > On 6 February 2011 19:39, Victor Engmark <[email protected]> wrote: > > On Wed, Feb 2, 2011 at 8:28 PM, Roee Shapiro <[email protected]> > wrote: > >> Hello > >> I enjoy using meld. > >> I see there is a push to right/left feature which is for a single block. > >> I am looking for the option to push a single line (out of the block), > >> Does it exist ? > > > > Bump.
