HUD
Heads Up Display
This page describes capability/status available in the Splice9 HUD that is not available in the original Splice. In vim do :help splice to learn about the HUD.
Here is the left part of the HUD which illustrates additional status.
Much of the Splice9 HUD is active. The active items are in bold. When the cursor moves over an active command it is highlighted. n: next conflict in the image shows this highlighting. When an active command is highlighted, press the mouse button to execute the command. Note that there are keyboard shortcuts for all the commands.
This region shows the current mode; *[p]ath in this example is highlighted. The modes act as commands, click on a mode and that mode is entered. Each mode has it's own set of layouts available.
This region shows the arrangement of the open windows and which file/buffer is loaded into the window. When Splice9 is diffing files, the files participating in the diff are highlighted; they are Original and One in this example.
The label of this region, Splice Commands:, is active. Click on it to display a popup which has each command with its associated keyboard shortcut.
The command D: diffs off has embedded status information. When Splice9 is diffing files there is a * displayed after the D:; this is shown in the image above. When the * is displayed, clicking on this command (or using the shortcut), turns off diffing.
The command s: toggle scrollbind also has a * indicator; it means that scrollbind is on. Note that scrollbind automatically goes on when diffing, the files that participate in the diff are in scrollbind. When not diffing, click on scrollbind so displayed files scroll together.
