fmTextDiff: Optimised 'Paste & Diff'

mrwatson-de opened this issue · 0 comments

Currently the 'optimised' key shortcut from fmWorkMate, ⌘7 + ⌘7, does not perform a useful function: Generate a diff with the current texts!

This should be replaced with a Paste & Diff function, that pastes into the next empty text field - creating a new record if needed - and if two texts are present automatically perform a diff.

This would be a great optimised process.

It should automatically convert FileMaker objects to a diffable format.

And it should also support the alternative format with the ALT key.

Note that fmTextDiff already has a similar, but not quite so advanced API function Paste -> D ( index ), that fmCheckMate uses - which is thankfully also triggered by ⌘7 from the XML Editor.

fmCheckMate should be extended

  • to also support ⌘⌥7 for alternative diff.
  • to also offer this from the Text Result Viewer.
