That's for sure! > ":diffall" would be more obvious. It's not symmetric > with ":diffoff" vs ":diffoff!", but that one doesn't say "this". > > What do you all think about using ":diffall" instead? Or what about :diffon[!] ? :diffon would be a synonym for :diffthis then and there would be symmetry with :diffoff[!] in terms of invocation and spelling. Maybe this could be declared as the preferred method then. Indeed I already wondered, why it was called :diffthis instead of :diffon, since there was a :diffoff. And then I read that :diffoff was introduced a major version later than :diffthis. I guess if they were introduced at the same time, it wouldn't have been called :diffthis.
