Add Command Line Diff Tool

• A "Compare" button to CommandLineArgument text editor to spawn Command Line Diff Tool.
• Command Line Diff Tool performs a text compare and a "smarter" tokenize comparison.
• Fix CommandLineArgument to allow multiple unique tabs.

Hi Felix, honestly I'm on the fence about taking this one. It seems like it would be well-suited for a stand-alone separate tool.

I usually use a separate tool, I paste the left command line, the right command line, split into lines, sort, and it shows the diff visually:

I'm sorry because I see that a lot of your effort went into this and I feel bad. Perhaps if we had extensions this would have been a good candidate for an extension. But I also wouldn't want to add support for extensions because that's a lot of maintenance and support burden.

No worries. It was a fun coding challenge.

A regular diff tool may not handle switch reordering or path changes between different binlog (not implemented). Being part of the BinLog Viewer can take advantage of the project context for a more accurate comparison.

Now, that would be great.
