Description

Delphi 2007 has a new cool feature. In the gutter near the code i can
see where i modified the code (by default a green or yellow line)

It would be OVER COOL if i could have two more buttons in the toolbar
allowing me to browse blocs of differences in the code.

Often i use marks to go back to places in the code where i was before,
but if i forget to put a mark i must search ... with this feature i'll be able
to browse my modifications in code without marks !

99 % of the job is done, delphi editor already knows where the different
blocs of lines are ... Add two buttons called "next difference" end
"previous difference" and you'll get all the glory !!! ;-)

A well know (and very good) opensource project called "winmerge"
works like this with 4 buttons allowing to browse
"first difference", "previous difference", "next difference", "last
difference"

Thank you

If you can't add it for delphi 2007 do it in 2008 !

Cheers

SYSOP:
Perhaps exchange the term Differences for Changes

I like it.

However it might be better to refer to "Changes" instead of "Differences". You can't actually see the differences unless you view the history window.
