Then I choose both Windows (A and B) by clicking on each opened buffer. However it looks like Emacs compares only the visible parts of the two buffers, not the whole buffers. Why? I saw there is a command `ediff-windows-wordwise`... How is "Window" defined? - as "currently visible part of a buffer"? If yes, is there something like `ediff-buffers-wordwise`? I have `git` in `exec-path`, so maybe I can make ediff to display the output of `git diff --word-diff file1 file2` in ediff style? https://emacs.stackexchange.com/questions/46161/ediff-compare-two-long-buffers-word-by-word Thank you!
