Consider, for example, the case of one buffer being opened in two windows, each window in a different tab. Each of those windows can be diffed against any other window(s) in the same tab. A buffer could be displayed in the master window in one tab and in a non-master window in another tab. Regards, Gary -- -- You received this message from the "vim_dev" maillist. Do not top-post!
