The documenation string for compare-windows tells me:
If `compare-windows-sync' is non-nil, then successive calls of
this command work in interlaced mode
Also, the documentation string for compare-windows-sync tells me:
If the value of this variable is `nil', then function `ding' is
called to beep or flash the screen when points are mismatched.
Yet when I go to customise compare-windows-sync, I don't see any
option to set it to nil; all I seem to be able to chose is to set it
to a function or a regexp.
I tried setting it to function nil, but was told:
custom-variable-save: Saving compare-windows-sync: Invalid function: nil
I also tried setting it to regexp nil, but then I see:
compare-windows-sync is a variable defined in `compare-w.el'.
Its value is "nil"
ie. it's set to the string "nil", not to nil itself.
So how can I get back the old behaviour of compare windows, where it
stops at differences, rather than skipping over them in some
semi-clever way?
