Setting to control number of context lines when in compact diff mode

Bradley Tse 4 years ago updated by Øyunn 1 week ago 1

It would be really helpful if we could manually control how many context lines are shown when using Compact diff mode. I believe right now it displays 3 lines above and below the chunk, but this is often not enough to quickly know where in the code the diff is, especially if 1 of those 3 lines is a blank line. 

I often find myself clicking the "Show Hidden Lines", which is cumbersome when I'm doing it for every chunk, or switching off Compact mode.

This would be a great improvement for me. 3 lines of context is often too little, especially when going through someone elses changes.

I've tried adding a third party diff engine, but there does not seem to be a way to get that integrated in the main window.
