When using merging buttons to copy lines from one file to another, or when inserting text into a file in any other way, Merge changes the line endings (CR and/or LF characters) in the lines copied to the predominant line endings found in the destination file. This behaviour can be overridden by enabling the Allow editing of read-only files option.

Likewise, delete buttons are not shown in read-only files. īy default, merging buttons to replace, append and prepend a block are not displayed if the destination file is read-only. The merging button icon changes to indicate its operation when you press Ctrl, Shift, or Ctrl + Shift.
