@Arun, thanks a lot for this code. I have performed two tests:

TEST 1: LINES WITH NO DIFFERENCE BETWEEN TWO LINES WITH DIFFERENCES

File1:
aaa aaa
aaa bbb
aaa aaa
aaa bbb

File2:
aaa aaa
aaa ccc
aaa aaa
aaa ccc

Lines 2 and 4 are different. There are lines without difference between two different lines, like line 3. In this case ]c works perfectly it jumps between diff changes. Excellent.


TEST 2: LINES WITH DIFFERENCES ARE ONE AFTER ANOTHER

File1 - the same as in test 1.
File 2:
aaa aaa
aaa ccc
aaa ccc
aaa ccc

Now lines 2, 3 and 4 are different. Cursor on first line first column and pressing ]c jumps correctly to second line at first letter of c. Now I see this difference is acceptable and I would like to jump to next difference. Executing ]c I expect to get to the next (third) row and search for difference. Like executing j0 (down and at first character in line) and then executing ]c again.

That is the native behavior of ]c, it skips over current diff context. Working around in the script will be messy, will look into it when I can.

I would like to have ]c working just like search does. For example searching for aaa, executing /aaa then n (for next). Every time I press n it gets to the next search string. Like that I would like to have ]c to "search" next difference. Difference should not be the block but line.

P.S. I am sorry I am not familiar with vim scripting. I would do the change myself if I know how to program in vim-script.

Give the attached script a shot. Try the "]x" mapping as well, it sounds like what you are after.

Regards,

-Arun
