MarkEdit-version-browser

Browse, compare, and restore saved versions of the current document. Local versions can also be deleted.

Installation

Install this extension from the MarkEdit Extension Registry.

How to Use

Open Extensions > Browse Versions in MarkEdit. Select a saved version to compare it with the current document, then switch between unified and split layouts as needed. Unchanged sections can be expanded directly in the diff.

Local delete operations require confirmation. The browser refreshes automatically after a version is deleted.

Settings

In settings.json, define a settings node named extension.markeditVersionBrowser. The default settings are:

{
  "extension.markeditVersionBrowser": {
    "wrapLines": true,
    "showLineNumbers": true,
    "diffIndicators": "classic",
    "lineDiff": "word-alt",
    "hunkSeparators": "line-info",
    "expandUnchanged": false,
    "expansionLineCount": 20
  }
}

• wrapLines: Wrap long lines instead of scrolling horizontally.
• showLineNumbers: Show line numbers in the diff gutter.
• diffIndicators: Line indicators: classic, bars, or none.
• lineDiff: Changed-text granularity: word-alt, word, char, or none.
• hunkSeparators: Hunk separator style: simple, metadata, line-info, or line-info-basic.
• expandUnchanged: Expand unchanged sections by default.
• expansionLineCount: Number of unchanged lines to reveal at a time, clamped from 1 to 100.
