sublime merge
* I want to see blame and modified dates for folders and files. This lets me look at folders and find the one that has a recent change and then glance at the files and see which ones changed recently. Maybe that feature is in there but "View Tree" is not it. That shows a plain tree. No modified dates, no people
VSCode
VSCode loads that project remotely. It edits the files locally (meaning when you open a file, it copies it from my linux box back to the mac in the local editor. IIUC, it proxies the language server stuff so it launches language server support on linux remotely. This means all the TS/C++/Rust etc intellisense stuff is being indexed on Linux in that project's environment and then that info is proxied back to the Mac and shows up in VSCode on the mac as info/completions/docs
Thank you for taking the time to share all this feedback - I genuinely appreciate it and will be looking into this further.
A couple of things to note:
> It puts headings on diff sections. I want to copy text that from Sublime Merge and search for the identifier in my editor. Sorry, S.O.L.
I've just added support for this internally, thank you for the feedback!
> I want to search for things across changes - sorry, S.O.L. - "someIdenifier" doesn't exist in the current code. When was it deleted? Let me search.
You can use the search tool (Ctrl + F) and add the query `contents: someIdentifier`. It will return every commit which contains that term within the changes.
Thanks again for the feedback!
also, the tree based folder and file blame. GitHub, the website, shows this info by default. It would be nice if sublime merge had a similar view. The code view on github, the default view for any project, shows a line for each file and folder, followed by the commit msg summary in the middle, and a commit date on the right
