Detect language mode in various cases

[a-pav]

Hi,

It would be good if Partial Diff could detect and select (or suggest) language mode for me (user).
For example when I copy a piece of code from a .go file (first selection) and another piece from another .go file (second selection) what could be the preferred language mode for me except Go?

I think this extension can make the decision, or I'm wrong. Whatever, just an idea.

Hi @goofle thanks for the suggestion.

I wonder if you get red squiggles if the comparing part is non-well-formed code block. Let's say you have the following code block

function foo() {
  return "bar";
}

and compare only the part of above code like below

unction foo() {
  return "bar

then you may get the weird syntax highlighting with red squiggles. I haven't tested it myself.

@ryu1kn
I did a trivial test and this didn't happen. No weird syntax highlighting and no squiggles.
BTW, I think it's the user's responsibility to compare only valid pieces of code, if that's what you're concerned about.

Thanks @goofle for having done the quick test! 😉

@ryu1kn I think I found a simple fix in #81.
