Diff pane

Diff pane toolbar

Item	Tooltip and Shortcut	Description
/	Previous Difference / Next Difference `Shift+F7` `F7`	Use these buttons to jump to the next/previous difference. When the last/first difference is reached, MPS suggests to click the arrow buttons `F7`/`Shift+F7` once more and compare other files, depending on the Go to the next file after reaching last change option in the Differences Viewer settings. This behavior is supported only when the Differences Viewer is invoked from the Version Control tool window `Shift+Alt+9` .
	Jump to Source `F4`	Click this button to open the selected file in the active pane in the editor. The caret will be placed in the same position as in the Differences Viewer.
	Compare Previous/Next File `Alt+LeftAlt+Right`	Click these buttons to compare the local copy of the previous/next file with its update from the server. tip These buttons are only available when there is more than one file in the selected changelist.
Viewer type		Use this list to choose a viewer type. The side-by-side viewer has two panels; the unified viewer has one panel only. Both types of viewers enable you to Edit code. Note that one can change text only in the right-hand part of the default viewer, or, in case of the unified viewer, in the lower ("after") line, that is in your local version of the file. Perform the Apply/Append/Revert actions.
Whitespace		Use this list to define how the differences viewer should treat whitespaces. Do not ignore: white spaces are important, and all differences are highlighted. This option is selected by default. Trim whitespaces: `("\t", " ")`, if they appear in the end and in the beginning of a line. If two lines differ in trailing whitespaces only, these lines are considered equal. If two lines are different, such trailing whitespaces are not highlighted in the By word mode. Ignore whitespaces: white spaces are not important, regardless of their location in the source code. Ignore whitespaces and empty lines: the following entities are ignored: all whitespaces (as in the 'Ignore whitespaces' option) all added or removed lines consisting of whitespaces only all changes consisting of splitting or joining lines without changes to non-whitespace parts. For example, changing `a b c` to `a \n b c` is not highlighted in this mode.
Highlighting mode		Select the way differences granularity is highlighted. The available options are: Highlight words: the modified words are highlighted Highlight lines: the modified lines are highlighted Highlight split changes: if this option is selected, big changes are split into smaller 'atomic' changes. For example, `A \n B` vs. `A X \n B X` will be treated as two changes instead of one. Highlight symbols: the modified symbols will be highlighted Do not highlight: if this option is selected, the differences are not highlighted at all. This option is intended for significantly modified files, where highlighting only introduces additional difficulties.
	Collapse unchanged fragments	Click this button to collapse all unchanged fragments in both files. The amount of non-collapsible unchanged lines is configurable in the Diff & Merge settings page.
	Synchronize scrolling	Scroll both differences panes simultaneously. If this button is released, each pane can be scrolled independently.
	Disable editing	Enable editing of the local copy of the selected file, which is disabled by default. When editing is enabled, you can make last-minute changes to the modified file before committing it.
	Editor settings	Open a list of available options. Select or clear these options to show or hide line numbers, indentation guides, white spaces, and soft wraps.
	Help `F1`	Click this button to show the corresponding help page.
