Sublime Text edits since last save

Question

Can't seem to find anything online. Frequently spend time editing multiple text documents at the same time and loose track of which ones I have edited. When I close I am not always sure whether I have purposefully changed or accidentally edited a character in a file. Would be great to have a feature to show the edits since last save for sublime text.

Seems like such an obvious need that I am surprised that I cannot find anything in features. Am I missing something or am I the only one with this need?

Answer 1

I know this already has an accepted answer, but it is not necessary to install FileDiffs or anything else. Just right click on the modified window and select Show Unsaved Changes.

A pane will show up at the bottom, listing the differences. There isn't an obvious way to dismiss the pane, but Ctrl+F will replace it with the search pane again.

Answer 2

Add this line to your Preferences.sublime-settings file (If you're on a Mac, then open the Sublime Text 2 menu -> Preferences -> Settings - User):

"highlight_modified_tabs": true

This will highlight tabs that have unsaved changes.
