Is there a way to toggle diff hunks for an entire file?

#1

I’d like to see diffs for an entire file, instead of just diff hunks. Is there a way to do this?

I checked the ST documentation on diffs and it looks like you can only toggle per line.

PS: Somehow, one of my files was showing all diff hunks exposed. Did I accidentally run a hidden keyboard command? Maybe just a glitch… anyway… I liked it… and it got me searching.

Hi there,

how can I set key binding for this “show entire file”, it’s great if I can use keyboard shortcut.

I have a workaround which utilizes some plugins.

    // show/hide all inline diff
    {
        "keys": ["ctrl+k", "ctrl+;"],
        "command": "chain",
        "args": {
            "commands": [
                // save cursors
                ["power_cursor_exit"],
                ["power_cursor_add"],
                // ...
                ["select_all"],
                ["toggle_inline_diff", { "prefer_hide": true }],
                ["deselect"],
                // load cursors
                ["power_cursor_activate"],
                ["power_cursor_exit"]
            ]
        }
    },

I think you can toggle all the diffs with just one command (without needing 3 different packages, while also maintaining any user made selections and cursors)

import sublime
import sublime_plugin


class ToggleAllDiffsCommand(sublime_plugin.TextCommand):
    def run(self, edit):
        sel = self.view.sel()
        old_sel = list(sel)
        sel.clear()
        sel.add(sublime.Region(0, self.view.size()))
        self.view.run_command("toggle_inline_diff", {"args": {"prefer_hide": True}})
        sel.clear()
        sel.add_all(old_sel)

Reference: https://github.com/AmjadHD/sublime_incremental_diff/blob/main/main.py#L26

And then you can bind toggle_all_diffs to whatever key you want.

sure but i have those 3 plugins installed already so i don’t have to invent mine XD
but that implementation is tidy.

Keybinding for noobs, I thought I was gonna have to provide some args, but no…

  {
    "keys": ["super+t", "super+d"],
    "command": "toggle_all_diffs"
  },

Nice one @UltraInstinct05 !

Hi @ctesmer, I know this is very late to respond to your query, but I thought it would helpful to anyone else landing on this question now. I’m on Sublime Text 4 (Build 4192). In the documentation Incremental Diff Doc an indirect option is given to view the diff hunk for the entire file.

To view the diff hunk for the whole file,

  1. Select all lines : Ctrl + A
  2. View diff hunk of each changed line : Ctrl + K & Ctrl + ;

And to hide back the diff hunk redo the steps. Hope you find this helpful.

Thank you.
