I use Meld but I always have to create two text files to use it. I simply want to copy paste text and compare locally without having to create any files.

  • What kind of text? From where? What is your expected workflow? – Nmath Nov 10 '21 at 00:08
  • Just two texts that I copy and paste. The tool should compare them and highlight the differences. How Meld works but without having to create two text files. – Sebastian Nov 10 '21 at 00:16

    I'm using Meld with New Comparison, File comparison, Blank Comparison, then paste two buffers - left and right, for years. Do not see any porblems. – N0rbert Nov 10 '21 at 04:35

    LOL, who in their right mind names clipboard text comparison "Blank Comparison" , to be clear in latest version you have to click the File comparison button (if not visible, go to File => New Comparison) - then the Blank Comparison button becomes enabled => click it => and then paste your text to left and right boxes :-) BTW: More tools: https://askubuntu.com/questions/2946/what-are-some-good-gui-diff-and-merge-applications-available-for-ubuntu – jave.web May 11 '23 at 11:33
