Any combination of text source should be acceptable as a source for the diff viewer panels:
- Multilevel Clipboard contents
(as show with [Ctrl-Shift-V] )
- console output
- editor
- file (? any valid url)
The most useful (to me).
Compare the last 2 Clipboard levels
---------------------------------------
1/
[Ctrl-C] a text
2/
[Ctrl-C] another text
3/ launch diff viewer, on the clipboard
Compare the last 2 sysout console contents
---------------------------------------
1/ launch an app, that outputs to the console
change it a bit
2/ relaunch the app
3/ launch diff on the console.
etc..
