But then it is impossible to edit buffer A or B directly. I you don't want the command frame you either will have to make use of complicate key combos or toggle between an edit and a command mode (like vi). Maybe, toggling mode isn't that bad. The features are basically there (start Emacs with -nw and call ediff), but it isn't that easy to customize ediff. > [ediff's user interface seems generally pretty bad; I like the > functionality, but never use it because it drives me nuts every time I > try] It's a challenge to work with ediff but also it's fun! -- ke@suse.de (work) / keichwa@gmx.net (home): | http://www.suse.de/~ke/ | ,__o Free Translation Project: | _-\_<, http://www.iro.umontreal.ca/contrib/po/HTML/ | (*)/'(*)
