Much navigation will be done with the scroll bars and the mouse but
|
|
|
you can also navigate with the keys. If you click into either window then
|
|
|
you can use the cursor buttons left, right, up, down, page up, page down,
|
|
|
home, end, ctrl-home, ctrl-end as you would in other programs. The overview-column
|
|
|
next to the vertical scroll bar of the input files can also be used for
|
|
|
navigating by clicking into it.
|
|
|
</p><p>
|
|
|
You can also use the wheel mouse to scroll up and down.
|
|
|
</p><p>
|
|
|
In the merge output editor you can also use the other keys for editing.
|
|
|
You can toggle between insert and overwrite mode with the insert key. (Default
|
|
|
is insert-mode.)
|
|
|
</p><p>
|
|
|
A left-mouse-button-click into any summary column will synchronise all
|
|
|
windows to show the beginning of the same group of lines (as explained
|
|
|
in section <a href="merging.html#synchronise_views" title="Setting The Current Group And Synchronising Merge And Diff View Position">"Setting The Current Group And Synchronising Merge And Diff View Position"</a>).
|
|
|
</p><p>
|
|
|
The button bar also contains nine navigation buttons with which you can
|
|
|
jump to the current/first/last difference, to the next/previous difference
|
|
|
(ctrl-down/ctrl-up), to the next/previous conflict (ctrl-pgdown/ctrl-pgup),
|
|
|
or to the next/previous unsolved conflict. Note that for <span class="application">KDiff3</span> a "conflict"
|
|
|
that was not automatically solved at the start of the merge stays a "conflict"
|
|
|
even if it is solved. Hence the necessity to distinguish "unsolved conflicts".
|
|
|
</p><div class="sect2" lang="en"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h3 class="title"><a name="autoadvance"></a>Auto-Advance</h3></div></div></div><p>
|
|
|
There also is a button "Automatically go to next unsolved conflict after
|
|
|
source selection" (Auto-Advance). If you enable this, then, when one source
|
|
|
is selected, <span class="application">KDiff3</span> will jump to and select the next unsolved conflict
|
|
|
automatically. This can help when you always want to choose one source only.
|
|
|
When you need both sources, or you want to edit after selecting, then you
|
|
|
probably want to switch this off. Before proceeding to the next unsolved conflict
|
|
|
<span class="application">KDiff3</span> shows you the effect of your choice for a short time. This delay is
|
|
|
adjustable in the Diff- & Merge-Settings: You can
|
|
|
specify the "Auto-Advance delay" in milli seconds between 0 and 2000. Hint:
|
|
|
Tired of many clicks? - Use a small Auto-Advance-delay and the shortcuts
|
|
|
Ctrl-1/2/3 to select A/B/C for many conflicts.
