Other Session Commands
======================

   The following commands can be invoked from within any Ediff session,
although some of them are not bound to a key.

`eregistry'
`ediff-show-registry'
     This command brings up the registry of active Ediff sessions.
     Ediff registry is a device that can be used to resume any active
     Ediff session (which may have been postponed because the user
     switched to some other activity).  This command is also useful for
     switching between multiple active Ediff sessions that are run at
     the same time.  The function `eregistry' is an alias for
     `ediff-show-registry'.  Note: Registry of Ediff Sessions, for
     more information on this registry.

`ediff-toggle-multiframe'
     Changes the display from the multi-frame mode (where the quick
     help window is in a separate frame) to the single-frame mode
     (where all Ediff buffers share the same frame), and vice versa.
     See `ediff-window-setup-function' for details on how to make
     either of these modes the default one.

     This function can also be invoked from the Menubar.  However, in
     some cases, the change will take place only after you execute one
     of the Ediff commands, such as going to the next difference or
     redisplaying.

`ediff-revert-buffers-then-recompute-diffs'
     This command reverts the buffers you are comparing and recomputes
     their differences.  It is useful when, after making changes, you
     decided to make a fresh start, or if at some point you changed the
     files being compared but want to discard any changes to comparison
     buffers that were done since then.

     This command normally asks for confirmation before reverting files.
     With a prefix argument, it reverts files without asking.

`ediff-profile'
     Ediff has an admittedly primitive (but useful) facility for
     profiling Ediff's commands.  It is meant for Ediff
     maintenance--specifically, for making it run faster.  The function
     `ediff-profile' toggles profiling of ediff commands.
