Doesn't work for Vim 7
Closed this issue · 14 comments
Thanks for plugin.
Just curios why it needs vim 8?
And it should be mentioned in Readme
Thanks for using.
There are several useful features in 8.0 and
It became not easy to maintain different codes for 7,x and 8.0 both.
And 2 years has passed since 8.0 release. I decided to support only 8.0.
I mentioned it in Reamde as a change history on diffchar 8.0.
Which 7.x version and which patch number you want to use?
Depending on it, the latest diffchar 8.4 might work.
Thanks. Can't use it still)
Didn't see the mention in Readme, sorry.
I use Vim 7.4.1938
Could you try to edit plugin/diffchar.vim on your PC?
line 16:
if exists('g:loaded_diffchar') || !has('diff') || v:version < 800
to
if exists('g:loaded_diffchar') || !has('diff') || v:version < 740 || !has('patch-7.4.1895')
If you have 7.4.1895 or more, it might work. Otherwise, please continue to use diffchar 7.6.
I will, thanks.
If it work, does it mean it will work for all cases for my vim version, or it might work is some cases and not in others?
Sorry, you need 7.4.2204 or later with the latest diffchar 8.4.
if exists('g:loaded_diffchar') || !has('diff') || v:version < 704 || !has('patch-7.4.2204')
If you can not update your vim, please use 7.6
I'll try to upgrade from Slackware-current, thanks!
UPDATE:
Uff.. Still no success. It was not easy to upgrade :(
At last I upgraded it, and.. it works!
Thanks you a lot! )
By the way, I'm looking for a good color scheme.
If you know better than on the screenshot, please, let me know!
Thanks
That is not a recommendation but I always use 'delek' with white background. And sometimes use t:DiffColors option to distinguish a diff unit in a line.
Hmm, it's hard to catch from the animated GIF what the t:DiffColors option does..
Maybe add static screenshots for every option?
Here they are. Hope this helps.
Thanks. I think it would be fine to add it to the Readme.
Readme already mentioned t:DiffColors and other options.
