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.

An improved diff mode for VIM
As you pointed, vim does not allows to compare lines partially. I have posted https://github.com/rickhowe/spotdiff.vim, which allows to specify the line range to compare.
