Hello,

I am using vim with fugitive extension http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=2975
It has :Gdiff command which brings you into vimdiff mode, but what is
the right/quick way to close/quit vimdiff mode?

i.e. let's say I am editing file FooBar.txt under git repository, then
firing up :Gdiff, review my changes in vimdiff and want to get back
and continue editing FooBar.txt or any other file :)

Thanks.

See :help diff.txt

       :diffoff!

then in the split-windows which you don't want to stay open:

       :q

Particular case: To stop diff mode by quitting Vim, just

       :qa

(or :xa if there are 'modified' files which you want to save before quitting) is usually enough.

Other ways to _start_ diff mode:

       [g]vimdiff file1 file2

(in the shell) or _one_ of the ex-commands

       :DiffOrig
       :diffsplit filename.ext
       :diffthis

in Vim. They all have help; :DiffOrig is defined in vimrc_example.vim, or you can copy its code from the help topic; :diffthis has to be repeated in each of the split-windows which you want to make part of the diff.


Best regards,
Tony.
