ediff: Other Session Commands

 
 3.2 Other Session Commands
 ==========================
 
 The following commands can be invoked from within any Ediff session,
 although some of them are not bound to a key.
 
 ‘eregistry’
 ‘ediff-show-registry’
      This command brings up the registry of active Ediff sessions.
      Ediff registry is a device that can be used to resume any active
      Ediff session (which may have been postponed because the user
      switched to some other activity).  This command is also useful for
      switching between multiple active Ediff sessions that are run at
      the same time.  The function ‘eregistry’ is an alias for
      ‘ediff-show-registry’.  Registry of Ediff Sessions, for
      more information on this registry.
 
 ‘ediff-toggle-multiframe’
      Changes the display from the multi-frame mode (where the quick help
      window is in a separate frame) to the single-frame mode (where all
      Ediff buffers share the same frame), and vice versa.  See
      ‘ediff-window-setup-function’ for details on how to make either of
      these modes the default one.
 
      This function can also be invoked from the Menubar.  However, in
      some cases, the change will take place only after you execute one
      of the Ediff commands, such as going to the next difference or
      redisplaying.
 
 ‘ediff-toggle-use-toolbar’
      Available in XEmacs only.  The Ediff toolbar provides quick access
      to some of the common Ediff functions.  This function toggles the
      display of the toolbar.  If invoked from the menubar, the function
      may take sometimes effect only after you execute an Ediff command,
      such as going to the next difference.
 
 ‘ediff-use-toolbar-p’
      The use of the toolbar can also be specified via the variable
      ‘ediff-use-toolbar-p’ (default is ‘t’).  This variable can be set
      only in ‘.emacs’: do *not* change it interactively.  Use the
      function ‘ediff-toggle-use-toolbar’ instead.
 
 ‘ediff-revert-buffers-then-recompute-diffs’
      This command reverts the buffers you are comparing and recomputes
      their differences.  It is useful when, after making changes, you
      decided to make a fresh start, or if at some point you changed the
      files being compared but want to discard any changes to comparison
      buffers that were done since then.
 
      This command normally asks for confirmation before reverting files.
      With a prefix argument, it reverts files without asking.
 
 ‘ediff-profile’
      Ediff has an admittedly primitive (but useful) facility for
      profiling Ediff’s commands.  It is meant for Ediff
      maintenance—specifically, for making it run faster.  The function
      ‘ediff-profile’ toggles profiling of ediff commands.
