In addition to what has already been mentioned (`highlight-changes-mode' and `diff-buffer-with-file'), and depending on what you need, you also have `M-o o' and the other `M-o' keys (use `C-u'). These are also available from menu Edit > Text Properties > Face (without `C-u'). But be aware that this does not work with font-lock-mode. See `(emacs)Format Faces'. ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 5+ messages in thread

For example, I am visiting a file-based buffer -i.e. a buffer visiting a file. It has already content and I am typing something like "foo bar". I want to display "foo bar" in such a way that we get direct information on what is new and what is old. Any idea ?
