  • Diff two files
    • Make sure the files are in the “Folders” section
      • You can add folders to the project by dragging and dropping
    • Selct the first file, then Ctrl select the second
    • RMB click > Diff Files…
  • Only works with UTF-8 files
    • If you can not diff to files that should be “diffable” then you probably have some non-ascii characters
    • A quick way to inspect teh file is to press “Ctrl F” then press “Alt R” to enable Regex mode
      • You can also click the regex button on the left most edge of the search input field
    • Then paste the regex [^\x00-\x7F] in the searc input field
    • Press find
