Plugin or Macro?
Submitted by tj.rothwell on Wednesday, 9 July, 2008 - 18:22
I was wondering if there is a way to change the behavior when editing a file that was updated/modified outside the editor.

Instead of a notification to reload or ignore the change, could there be one that would allow the user to merge the two?

In order to do this, could it be done as a macro tying in jdiff? Or would you need a plugin to override the event on how to handle changed files?

Maybe ActionHooks, and a macro.

You might be able to do this with a macro and the ActionHooks plugin.

You would definitely need the jDiff plugin installed as well.

As to the actual way of doing it. You might have to create a separate "temporary" buffer containing the local changes, and reload the file in the original buffer. Then use jDiff to compare the two.

I'm just not sure you can have two buffers open with the same path.
