Prettier diffs?

[ldelossa]

Hello,

Is there a way to get a prettier diff experience when Copilot has a suggestion in its chat window?
Unless I'm just missing a plugin, we can only see a plan git diff.

Other plugins like codecompanion and avante should a nice in-buffer diff, similar to what you'd see with vim's built in diff (maybe a bit better).

Just wondering, is this possible and I'm just missing something?

Yea there is buffer diff, via:

    mappings = {
        show_diff = {
            full_diff = true,
        },
    },

Thanks this is cool, but pretty awkward when you use copilot chat as a floating window. You need to keep the float alive for the diff to be viewable.

you can specify the layout when opening the window without having it set globally as well, so for diffing you can always just reopen the window as sidebar and then diff there I guess.

I'm not sure I follow. I usually use gd in the chat window to see the diff. Are you saying there's a VIM command which will take a window argument as well?
