Compares the two sets of source code. The comparison is no longer line-based (as in previous versions of the splitscreen editor). Instead it is statement-based. To call this function click on the icon .

You can suppress comment lines and indentations using the Settings function.

Differences in the source text are highlighted. Where lines have been inserted, the system inserts the same number of $$ lines at the corresponding position. In compare mode, the system scrolls both windows when you use the arrow keys. To scroll asynchronously, use the scrollbars and page up / page down keys.

Switching off compare mode removes the blank lines inserted in the source code and the special formatting used to highlight the difference. Synchronous scroll mode is deactivated at the same time. The scrolling keys again depend on the cursor.

The system positions both windows at the next point that is identical on both sides.

The system positions both windows at the previous point that is identical on both sides.

The system positions both windows at the next difference.

The system positions both windows at the previous difference.

The starting point for the above positioning functions is always the current page. You can therefore skip several differences simply by scrolling.

Copies the block of code at the current cursor position that was marked by the compare function into the buffer. The comment lines inserted by the Modification Assistant are removed.
