How do you exit vimdiff mode in vim, specifically, for Fugitive?

Question

I am using vim with the fugitive extension. It has a :Gdiff command which brings you into vimdiff mode, but what is the right/quick way to close/quit vimdiff mode?

I.e.,

Answer 1

According to: https://github.com/tpope/vim-fugitive/issues/36

Close the other window. The easiest way to do this if you haven't shifted focus to it is <C-W><C-O>, which means "make this Window the Only window."

Answer 2

My function will work both from diff window and file window. But probably won't handle itself with multiple diffs opened. For that you'll need to use fugitive#buffer(n).path() to scan and match.

command! Gdiffoff call Gdiffoff()
function! Gdiffoff()
    let diffbufnr = bufnr('^fugitive:')
    if diffbufnr > -1 && &diff
        diffoff | q
        if bufnr('%') == diffbufnr | Gedit | endif
        setlocal nocursorbind
    else
        echo 'Error: Not in diff or file'
    endif
endfunction

Add a key binding:

nnoremap <silent> <leader>gD :Gdiffoff<CR>

Answer 3

I had no luck with diffoff, but I just learned that :Gedit with no argument will bring you back to the working-directory version of the file, as opposed to some earlier version you were reviewing.

And as q (no need for :q) will close the diff sidebar, you can do q followed by :Gedit to get rid of the sidebar and then go back to the current version of the file.

Answer 4

I've found a simple solution for this. You can check it here: https://gist.github.com/radmen/5048080

" Simple way to turn off Gdiff splitscreen
" works only when diff buffer is focused
if !exists(":Gdiffoff")
  command Gdiffoff diffoff | q | Gedit
endif

Answer 5

None of the above solutions worked for me. Ended up doing this instead:

nnoremap <Leader>D :Gedit<CR><C-w>h :q<CR><C-w>k

Answer 6

Running :Gwrite after merging to your satisfaction will close the other two diff panes in addition to updating the git cache to mark the file as merged.
