Describe the solution you'd like
A clear and concise description of what you want to happen.

Forgive ignorance but I just stumbled onto your application from starting up on HTB and wanted to see if it was possible to get something similar to the Compare plugin for Notepad++. Essentially the input plane would be split into two windows side by side with automatic highlights in red/green for lines that do not match and match between the two. If this is already feature I am missing, I apologize and will re-read the manual.

I would use Meld for that operation .. or other diff tool?
And on second thoughts you might build a CT CodeBox with runs meld via command line:

`$ meld --help
Usage:
meld Start with an empty window
meld <file|folder> Start a version control comparison
meld [] Start a 2- or 3-way file comparison
meld [] Start a 2- or 3-way folder comparison

Meld is a file and directory comparison tool.

Options:
--version show program's version number and exit
-h, --help show this help message and exit
-L LABEL, --label=LABEL
Set label to use instead of file name
-n, --newtab Open a new tab in an already running instance
-a, --auto-compare Automatically compare all differing files on startup
-u, --unified Ignored for compatibility
-o OUTFILE, --output=OUTFILE
Set the target file for saving a merge result
--auto-merge Automatically merge files
--comparison-file=COMPARISON_FILE
Load a saved comparison from a Meld comparison file
--diff Create a diff tab for the supplied files or folders
