Difference Indicator

The narrow strip on the right side of the file diff view gives a bird’s-eye view of all differences across the whole file.

Each colored mark corresponds to a difference section; the colors match those in the diff table. The current scroll position is shown as a highlighted band. Click anywhere on the indicator to jump directly to that part of the file.
