# Description: Show diff of 2 directories or multiple files in vimdiff
#
# Note: 1. vim may show the warning: 'Vim: Warning: Input is not from a terminal'
#          press 'Enter' to ignore and proceed.
#       2. if only one file is in selection, the hovered file is considered as the
#          second file to diff with
#
# Shell: POSIX compliant
