Kaleidoscope's Text Scope offers three ways of viewing the changes between two text documents: Fluid, Blocks and Unified.
You can switch between the Fluid, Blocks and Unified views by using one of the following methods:
Fluid layout compresses empty spaces providing a natural reading experience while reviewing changes.
Unified layout interleaves your possible choices on the left with your final output on the right, providing a concise, readable way to merge.
To search in the Text Scope:
You can move to the next or previous change by using one of the following methods:
If you are using a track pad with gesture support, you can use the "Three Finger Swipe to Navigate" gesture to go to the next and previous changes. Make sure that this gestures is enabled in the System Preferences.
You can choose to ignore leading, trailing and line-ending whitespace differences by default. To set the whitespace preference:
Kaleidoscope > Preferences... > Text > Whitespace
To turn whitespace ignoring on or off per diff, use the Ignore Whitespace checkbox located in the bottom toolbar.
Kaleidoscope only uses the Ignore Whitespace setting in Text Scope. It is not applicable to Folder Scope comparisons.
You can choose to have line wrapping on or off by default. To change the default line wrapping preference:
Kaleidoscope > Preferences... > Text > Layout
To switch line wrapping on or off for the comparison you are currently viewing, go to:
View > Wrap Lines
