If I understand correctly enabling changes_linehi_diff will switch to second changes higlight style - where it higlight whole line, but it seems to not work for me.
I can use 'CT' - to jump to next change style mode, but it would be cool if user could setup line highlight as default style mode.

Also option to disable left column signs would be cool (right now they override gitsigns plugin plug markers) . Cool pluging @chrisbra

Dear chrisbra,

I'm not sure this issue is related to your script, but i've come across a strange issue. Using vim-latex (http://vim-latex.sourceforge.net/) plugin your plugin throws this error during activation only when i'm editing a tex file (other files are ok):

Error detected while processing function changes#GetDiff:
line 45:
E121: Undefined variable: b:diffhl

I've tried to debug it and found out the following. Without the vim-latex plugin, during the MakeDiffs function, the diffhl variable works as expected. But with the vim-latex plugin after the diffing, just before executing line 367 the diffhl variable is missing from the buffer. I'm a noob in vimscripts so i won't try to guess the cause, but i'm sure that the vim-latex plugin does something to the buffer during the MakeDiffs function.

Thank You for your time!

Best regards,
Mate

Executing :DisableChanges followed by :EnableChanges results in

Error detected while processing function changes#GetDiff..<SNR>18_PlaceSigns:
line   10:
E155: Unknown sign: add

I use vim-gitgutter for marking changes on git projects and it is pretty useful for me. But I want to use this plugin on files that are out of version control. Is there a way to disable ChangesPlugin with git projects?

Hi.
I only want to know, if it's possible mark the changes without leaving insert mode.

Cheers

Why not update the view on this event as well?

I installed the plugin in neovim (0.9) in mac.

With :EC I got a message like this:

Changes.vim: overwrite /var/folders/ct/gbl89k5s7s74t2p7s_x_ywp80000gn/T/nvim.chunxuan/14AHWL/1.old.txt? (y/n [n]) not over
written

More info with :CC

Error detected while processing function changes#Output:
line    6:
E731: using Dictionary as a String
line    7:
E731: using Dictionary as a String
line    8:
E731: using Dictionary as a String

The inidicator are not shown. Any ideas for potential issues?

I get the following errors every time I do :TCV or :EC:

Error detected while processing function changes#TCV..changes#GetDiff..24_MakeDiff:
line 44:
E121: Undefined variable: vcs
E15: Invalid expression: vcs=='cvs'
Error detected while processing function changes#TCV:
line 9:
E171: Missing :endif

I installed the plugin for my vim 7.4, without any options defined.

Anytime when I open a file, there is error on status bar: Vim(if):E121: Undefined variable: s:signcolumn

Any idea how to fix it? Thanks.

how do I customize the change indicators?

Steps to reproduce

1. open up two files under git control foo.h and foo.c
2. make a change in foo.h and save
3. switch to the next buffer foo.c with :bn
4. switch to the alternate file with ctrl-^

Result

The current buffer is a temporary file /tmp/somethingrandom/1.

Expected result

The current buffer is the alternate file foo.h.

With NVIM v0.5.0-d46c400 (although I think/assume this applies to regular Vim, and other versions), I find that changesPlugin always forces the signcolumn to be shown (i.e. extra characters to the left of the buffer), even for terminal buffers. For terminal buffers, I would argue that changesPlugin is basically irrelevant; they are constantly changing, and have no saved state, so changesPlugin should probably be ignoring them.

I've put a workaround into my own fork of changesPlugin: https://github.com/andrewferrier/changesPlugin/commit/2f0d82d911adaac4aff9d1f6e2546195961323d6. It's probably not the most elegant, but it would be great if you could incorporate something like this into changesPlugin itself.

Thanks for all your work on this great plugin, I find it really helpful!

From vim-airline/vim-airline#2107

environment

• vim: MacVim Snapshot 162 (Vim patch 8.2.319)

• vim-airline:

  • vim-airline/vim-airline@185bcc5 - doesn't have the problem
  • vim-airline/vim-airline@74ca43a and later has the problem

• What is your airline configuration:

let g:airline_powerline_fonts = 1
let g:airline#extensions#tabline#enabled = 1

if you are using Neovim:

• does it happen in Vim: NO. Everything works in Neovim (I'm using VimR)

actual behavior

If I start vim with changesPlugin plugin enabled, then the cursor gets stuck in the top leftmost corner, blinking as a mad, and it's not possible to move it or to do anything.

So I either have to disable the changesPlugin or to pin airline to vim-airline/vim-airline@185bcc5

Here is the configuration for the changesPlugin

let g:changes_use_icons=0
let g:changes_linehi_diff=1

I tried to install changesPlugin and I'm using pathogen but I've encountered the following error.
Do you have any idea how to resolve it?

% vim ~/.vimrc
Error detected while processing /Users/kjee/.vim/bundle/changesPlugin/plugin/changesPlugin.vim:
line   80:
E227: mapping already exists for <nowait>

Thanks a lot for your help!

Sorry for my poor English. First, I would like to thank you for creating such an awesome plugin.

Unfortunately, I have an issue with the plugin.

Problem:
There are no signs appearing.

I installed changesPlugin on my system with pathogen.

I can see see it is available on my system. When I type :Enable and press [tab], I see :EnableChanges appearing. When I pressed enter, nothing showings up. I changed somewhere in my code, delete some lines but I don't save it yet, and run the command again. But nothing is showing up.

Then I deleted all the plugins, except changesPlugin. But there are still no signs appearing. But no error too.

Environment Information

• OS: Windows 7 x64
• Vim version: 7.4 (Gvim) with +sign enables

I use Harroogan's Vim

Maybe you have some advice how this issue could be caused?

Thanks in advance.

I really like this plugin, but sometimes I wish I could use it as a standard diff-mode, would it be possible to extend this plugin to match difference against another file and not just against its saved state?
Maybe it could be another plugin altogether, but I guess it could share most of the code.

Hi, I'm working on windows and when a try to Enable Changes on a file it says it cant open
"C:\Users\myUserName\AppData\Local\Temp\VIA4396.tmp"

Thanks

Didn't want to make a PR updating the wording of your README, but wanted to bring it to your attention re: "only updates the signs on write"

https://github.com/airblade/vim-gitgutter#faq

Hi, thanks for your useful plugin!

I've successfully configured my own colours, but what are the ChangesSignTextDummyCh and ChangesSignTextDummyAdd highlight groups for?

If the path contains spaces, no change signs are displayed. Furthermore, the command :DisableChanges throws a bunch of errors:

Error detected while processing function changes#CleanUp..<SNR>18_UnPlaceSigns:
line    5:
E121: Undefined variable: s:sign_prefix
line    8:
E121: Undefined variable: s:sign_prefix
E15: Invalid expression: id == s:sign_prefix.'0' && !a:force
line   12:
E159: Missing sign number
Error detected while processing function changes#CleanUp:
line    3:
E121: Undefined variable: s:signs
E116: Invalid arguments for function keys(s:signs)
E15: Invalid expression: keys(s:signs)

I have leader-hl mapped to :nohl, so your leader-h mapping interferes with this.

I've worked out a horribly hacky way of overriding this:

nnoremap <Leader>hl :nohl<CR>
nunmap <Leader>hl
autocmd VimEnter * nnoremap <leader>hl :nohl<CR>

This works fine when I first start vim, but breaks if I need to reload any vimrc files

I've read elsewhere that I could use an /after/plugin folder to make my mapping work after your plugin loads.

Or is there some hidden option that I could change to disable your mapping?

Or any other method?

Thanks again.
