Subject: Feature request: Add word wrapping to gitk display
Date: Sun, 01 May 2016 11:37:52 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1462095472.542.2.camel@gmail.com> (raw)

Hi,

when working on text files with long lines, "word diff" can produce
appropriate diff display. However, the long lines cannot be viewed very
well in gitk (requires excessive scrolling).

I found out that it is quite easy to achieve this


index 805a1c7..5ba7472 100755
--- a/gitk
+++ b/gitk
@@ -2404,7 +2404,7 @@ proc makewindow {} {
     set ctext .bleft.bottom.ctext
     text $ctext -background $bgcolor -foreground $fgcolor \
        -state disabled -font textfont \
-       -yscrollcommand scrolltext -wrap none \
+       -yscrollcommand scrolltext -wrap word \
        -xscrollcommand ".bleft.bottom.sbhorizontal set"
     if {$have_tk85} {
        $ctext conf -tabstyle wordprocessor


however I'm not otherwise knowledgeable about Tk to make this a
properly configurable switch. I think it would be a very nice addition
to have, a check box next to "Line diff/ color words" that says "Wrap
words in display".


Thanks,
Nei
