feature request push/pull current line

[Claudio Fischer]

Hi,

I wanted to bring my feature request long time ago up again :-)
Now with some additional info and sample of two files to compare attached.

As I wrote, we use wincompare/compareit from Grigsoft:
http://www.grigsoft.com/wincmp3.htm
This prog exactly does what we want, see my older description and attached samples.
The prog is shareware, you can try the features, it only runs on windows.
But we also need a powerful compare prog on Linux and like meld very much.
Meanwhile compareit also is developed very slowly :-(
CompareIt uses the keys Ctrl+Alt Left/Right to copy only the current line and like meld
Alt Left/Right to copy the whole block, this logically fits good.
See attached sample-files to compare ...

Regards,
Claudio

For insertchunks this is fine, but what about modified or conflicted chunks?cheers,Kai

Can you please describe the feature (or post a screencast or
something) so that people without Windows (or who aren't going to
install unsigned shareware binaries...) can understand how it works.

Specifically, how do you figure out where to insert the line in the other file?

cheers,
Kai
