==============================================================================
MAX LINES *diffs-max-lines*
When a hunk contains more highlighted lines (`+`/`-`) than the configured
threshold, diffs.nvim skips syntax highlighting for that hunk to avoid lag.
Context lines (lines with a space prefix) are not counted toward the limit.
A warning is shown when this happens: >
[diffs.nvim]: Syntax highlighting skipped for 1 hunk(s) — too large.
<
To increase the threshold: >lua
vim.g.diffs = {
highlights = {
treesitter = { max_lines = 1000 }, -- default: 500
vim = { max_lines = 500 }, -- default: 200
},
}
<
To suppress the warning without changing the threshold: >lua
vim.g.diffs = {
highlights = { warn_max_lines = false },
}
<
The `intra.max_lines` threshold (default: 500) is separate and controls
character-level diff highlighting within changed lines. It does not affect
the syntax highlighting warning.
