I suggest following one:

The SmartGit provides two ways to change highlighting scheme: first in preferences, second in edit window by clicking 'Syntax language' under view menu. 

Both are not convenient ehough in some particular cases. The first one is requires setting up for all formats you could have but not only standard. The second one requires too many actions.

Also in these approach there is no way to quickly change schme from 'Chagnes' area. So the common way for 'Editor' window and 'Changes' areas expected.

The ways how it can be improved to be more convenient:

1. Right click on diff panel -> Mouse over Syntax highlight -> Pick scheme. (Example from Sublime Text 3

) (Two clicks one move)

or 2. Right click on diff panel -> Syntax highlight (opens window) -> Press '<Symbol>' for quick search-> <Symbol>scheme -> enter or Ok click.

or 3. Combobox somewhere in changes area with possibility to select scheme + Press '<Symbol>' for quick search

The handiest one is the third. The first one is on the second place.

I agree with you but as I see I cannot edit description so feel free to do it yourself if you can.

Hi Thomas. Yes, make sense and I aready did this but if we think in such way then we don't need this feature at all. If we talk about the feature then it is worth to have the most convenient way is possible.

Hi Mark. 

I wouldn't like to rate "the customer service" as  "Bad, I'm unsatisfied" because the customer service is good but the implementation is not what I expected to see. 

Why:

1. I am not still able to change highlight scheme in changes area. I expected a button or right-click-menu-item. To have possibility to change scheme I have to open editor window (first action), click view (second action), click syntax language (third action), scroll & find (forth action), click ok (fifth action). That is inconvenient. Did I miss something?

Alternatives:

1.1 Right click on diff panel -> Mouse over Syntax highlight -> Pick scheme (Example https://www.screencast.com/t/guOBoP955I) (Two clicks one move)

or 1.2. Right click on diff panel -> Syntax highlight (opens window) -> 'x' -> xml -> enter or Ok click.

or 1.3. Combobox somewhere in changes area with possibility to select scheme + quick navigation by letter there...

2. The syntax language window does not have any way to search expected scheme or quick navigation way. For example I am comparing Visual Studio csproj file, which is xml file, I need to scroll down to xml. So if I can press 'x' and go to a first 'x' scheme it would be great.

Because usually is not always.

You can have following usual cases:

1. The diff tool determined that code changed, but in general in two different branches code was added to the same place. For example in conflict solver in this case you need copy code from the left and copy code from the right. And with copy-paste it is selecting code on the left pasting on the middle, selecting code on the right pasting on the middle.

2. In one branch code was edited in the second was added and the diff tool thinks that in both cases it is edited. In this case you usually need to copy code from the one of the panels.

3. When you have complex conflict and you need to merge code manually. You can go by two way. The first one is to use currently implemented replace from any panel and then manually copy-paste and replace or type it youself but it is usually much easier to include both conflict parts and just delete unnecessary code.

Also using of mouse or selecting code with keyboard is quite long action and it is not handy. It is much easier to just press alt + shift + left arrow (for example) or shift + click.

I think when you copy from the left then above when copy from the right then below. In any case usually when you do such insertion you edit code after it.

Description is:

It would be great to have ability of quick switching of type of highlighting in diff tool. Right now I see only way in preferences.
