This tip is for when you are working with a two-window vertical diff (comparing two files, side-by-side).
Use ]c
and [c
to go to a specific change. Then use M-, and M-. to patch using the version on the left or right respectively. The cursor is then positioned in the file that changed for ease of saving, etc.
I find this more intuitive than using diffput and diffget because I no longer need to remember which window the cursor is in.
The code:
function! DiffTake(dir, oppdir) let l:old = winnr() exec "wincmd ".a:dir " Assumption: just 2 windows side by side. if (winnr() == l:old) diffput exec "wincmd ".a:oppdir else wincmd p diffget endif endfunction function! SetupDiffMappings() if &diff map <Esc>, :call DiffTake("h", "l")<CR> map <Esc>. :call DiffTake("l", "h")<CR> endif endfunction " vim -d call SetupDiffMappings() " Entering diff mode from within vim - diffsplit, etc. autocmd FilterWritePost * call SetupDiffMappings()

You might also like these settings (but it will require a little savy on keeping which side is which):
" <F11> moves to "previous" change location, " <F12> moves to "next" change location, map <F11> [c map <F12> ]c " SHIFT<F12> does a "diff put" change location, map <S-F12> dp
