    Hello,

    i would like to know if FlowStudio has with feature like ADiffView ?

    [EDIT] ha cool it's possible.

    It will be possible to add drag and drop file in File1 and File2 without open requester like ADiffView please?

    Have a synchronization between files will be great too like ADiffView (highlight in green the new/modified text and in red the removed text for example)

    Cool! yes i have think to this problem this morning, maybe a hotkey to active a compare mode (highlight) and another hotkey (or the same) to back to edit mode.

    It will be very usefull.

    View->Splitview->None (cmd-Z). In some cases you might want to still keep a split view but then turn off synchronized scrolling in that same menu.

    Note also that the file comparison tool also works on directly with the CVS functionality. This was always the most useful feature for me. Very easy to compare different versions of a file on cvs.

    I wish there was a manual for FlowStudio. Unfortunately I seem to be the only one who knows of a lot of the features ;-)

    Did you press cmd-SHIFT-z? Note that FlowStudio shortcuts are case sensitive with typically the less common ones having upper cases by default.

    You can also use the menu as indicated in my previous post. Note that you don't need to open the menu twice to both turn off synch. scrolling and the splitview. Just release the RMB when you are done with both actions.

    @Nadir:

    ok, i didnt see hotkey to separate show before use Shift+CMD+Z doesn't work.
    I think it was a cycle to change the show mode :-D

    Shift+CMD+L separate horizontaly
    Shift+CMD+V separate verticaly
    Shift+CMD+Z remove separate mode

    Maybe add a hotkey to active/deactive Syncronized Scrolling (not translate in french) like Shift+CMD+S if don't exist?

    Just add a hotkey of your liking in Menu->Settings->Editor->Menus. I don't want to have defaults for every uncommon action.

    I think it's an important feature to compare files :-)

    Thanks for the tips to add/modify hotkeys!

    Shift+CMD+S added here.
