ST3 latest changes, some questions about new features

#1

hello,

I have a couple of questions to the latest changes in ST:

Incremental Diff <- [click me!]

A new context menu appears when you hover over the latest changes:
st3_inc_diff

What are their meanings? They are probably part of the inc. diff but i couldn’t make out any documentation.

U ?

st3_ctr_sh_u

with [[Ctrl]]+ [[shift]] + [[u]] there’s this little box over the text area. What is this?

thank you

That’s not core sublime, that’s part of the GitGutter package. If you follow that link and scroll down a bit, there’s documentation on what the different buttons are.

GitGutter is separate from the new incremental diff functionality; GitGutter displays icons in the gutter on each line (also visualized at that link) while the incremental diff displays solid lines of color to the left of the gutter instead. All of that functionality is documented at: https://www.sublimetext.com/docs/3/incremental_diff.html.

That key binding is bound to soft_redo by default, which doesn’t display any popup at all. My guess would be that your window manager or some other program you’re running is using that key to provide extra functionality of some sort.

lightnin fast as always, OdatNurd :smile:

I already linked to incremental diff documentation (it’s in the title) so I figured I was looking in the wrong place.

You guessed right, found the culprit: https://superuser.com/questions/358749/how-to-disable-ctrlshiftu-in-ubuntu-linux

Thank you.

Hah, I didn’t even notice that text was a link. I’m observant, honest! :smiley:
