Is it posssible to merge changes when you’re working with “Temporary File”s, i.e., text pasted from the clipboard? The merge buttons seem to get grayed out.

Since some of you might be Kaleidoscope power users, mind helping out this newbie? I’ve been playing with Kaleidoscope and Beyond Compare today but am struggling to make Kaleidoscope work for the ChatGPT use case. I understand why the subscription model works better for developers and I’m certainly willing to pay for a quality piece of software.

Oh, and I could never figure out how to merge changes when working off of clipboard text as opposed to files on the disk. I was getting by with “New from Clipboard” and “Paste to Comparison” (Opt-Cmd-V), but most critically, I was forced to switch back and forth between Kaleidoscope and a text editor since Kaleidoscope didn’t have any text editing functionality as far as I could tell. It could have been that I was clumsy being a newbie, but even a simple Cmd-V was a challenge. With Kaleidoscope, the workflow felt more complicated than necessary. For example, I just turned on “Intelligently split blocks of changed text based on matched line pairs”, and now I can finally merge changes line by line rather than in multi-line chunks.

I just downloaded Araxis Merge and have a feeling that I’ll end up paying for this after the trial period.Īraxis Merge not only gets the basics right (pasting text from clipboard, in-app editing) but also offers a set of preferences that can be adjusted to make diffing work better for ChatGPT-edited English text-as opposed to code. Right now, I'm extremely pleased with Araxis Merge, though the price tag is indeed pretty hefty. Until relatively recently, DeltaWalker had been my hands-on, no-questions-asked, accept-no-substitutes choice, but the developer (who is awesome) had some issues porting it to Catalina, and it lost a little shine in the process (the diffing and merging are still great, but its integration with the MacOS ecosystem is still a little awkward at present). but unfortunately not my go-to for MacOS development anymore. which I suppose it is.įourth: DeltaWalker is awesome, not very expensive, extremely capable, extremely underrated. It works great, but it feels like a Windows port. Third: BeyondCompare is ugly as relatively expensive, extremely capable and highly rated. Second: Araxis Merge is nice looking, very expensive, extremely capable and extremely underrated. First: Kaleidoscope is very pretty, very expensive, very limited and very overrated.
