fmTextDiff/fmCheckMate: UX: Diff function or Print function?

mrwatson-de opened this issue · 0 comments

There is currently a UX problem when using fmCheckMate and fmTextDiff to diff two texts:

fmTextDiff uses the diff transformations that are set up in fmCheckMate.

However, some times it is easier to transfer code from remote computers using fmCheckMate - and once the code is in fmCheckMate it is easiest to just print the code (with ⌘ P).

In this case, however, the two sides of the diff have been transformed with different functions and are thus swamped with unimportant differences.

The workaround for now has been to set the diff functions to the same functions as the print functions.

A better solution might be to find a (easy to remember) keyboard shortcut for the diffing functions.
