I would have proposed using the diff commands, too..
(See DiffWithFileOnDisk in my privious post.....)
Perhaps it would be better to save to tempname() because those files
will be deleted automatically..
I think Tim's method is better in that it doesn't require a file at
all. Depending on personal preference, it might be better to
explicitly make the diff buffer a scratch buffer, in something like
the following:
command! -nargs=0 ShowDifferences
\ let ShowDifferencesOriginalBuffer=bufnr('%')
\|execute 'bufdo diffoff'
\|execute 'buffer' ShowDifferencesOriginalBuffer
\|diffthis
\|unlet ShowDifferencesOriginalBuffer
\|below vert new
\|set buftype=nofile noswapfile bufhidden=wipe
\|r #
\|1d
\|diffthis
There's a little extra there to clear diff mode from other buffers to
avoid including more than the two intended buffers in the diff mode.
