Using magit style diffing generally

Question

I enjoy using magit and whenever I have to look at a diff outside of magit, it occurs to me how inferior the default diff experience is.

Two aspects in particular:

1) refine diff automatically as I move into new hunks. - diff-auto-refine-mode is not a substitute because I don't always move with M-p and M-n.

2) white space differences are really obvious because magit-whitespace-warning-face face is applied.

Is there a way to get these two features in diff-mode

Answer 1

I think sending a message to the Magit maintainers asking them to submit those changes for inclusion in diff-mode might do it.
