Git Single letter substitutions
If you need character or word based diffs, the diffchar plugin adds support for them to vimdiff.

Text formatting or not formatting
I've tried mitigating the issue with diffchar, but even this plugin struggles when words are moved to new lines and spaces are added. I found a couple of old discussions in the sub but they didn't go very far. I've even tried wrapping (ah! see what I did here?) my head around the concept of semantic linefeeds, but it seems to go against formatting altogether.
- Any plugins or something for text editing?

<plug> mappings don't work, even though the mapping seems succesful and calling the mapped function DOES work. What's happening?
I've just installed diffchar.vim for some better diff movement.

Question: Looking to write text from a buffer into a section of another buffer on `BufLeave` or `BufWriteCmd` without saving.
Two more of my plugins that use the same patterns are linediff and writable_search, but I think inline_edit is closest to what you're looking for.

Diff parts of files
To compare two blocks of the same file, I use this: https://github.com/andrewradev/linediff.vim
What are some alternatives?
When comparing diffchar.vim and linediff.vim you can also consider the following projects:
vim-gitgutter - A Vim plugin which shows git diff markers in the sign column and stages/previews/undoes hunks and partial hunks.
spotdiff.vim - A range and area selectable diffthis to compare partially
vim-mergetool - :cake: Efficient way of using Vim as a Git mergetool
patchreview-vim - Vim/Neovim plugin for doing single, multi-patch or diff code reviews
splitjoin.vim - Switch between single-line and multiline forms of code
tagalong.vim - Change an HTML(ish) opening tag and take the closing one along as well
inline_edit.vim - Edit code that's embedded within other code
writable_search.vim - Grep for something, then write the original files directly through the search results.
