Question

I use mercurial and I want to see modified change in Vim or GVim.
Normally there is hg diff which show the modified changes in diff format.
but I want to see it in Vim as the original version and modified version side-by-side.

I try extdiff in ExtdiffExtension but it doesn’t work and gvim open some blank file.

I know there is gvim -d localfile otherfile but I don’t know how to config mercurial.

Check this: Using vimdiff to view single diffs

hg cat <filename> | vim - -c  ":vert diffsplit <filename>" -c "map q :qa!<CR>";
