To compare two files without resorting to launching vidiff from the command-line, you can do the following.
1) open one of the two files in a standard buffer
2) type in :vert diffsplit filename
Put the name of the file you'll be comparing in place of filename. Prefixing the command with vert gives you a vertical split. If you'd prefer a horizontal split, simply omit the vert.

I use the following mapping to make it quick and easy. This diffs from version saved to disk; usefull when I want to make sure I have not made any errant keystrokes before saving.
"DiffOrig Mapping.
function! DiffOrig()
if &diff
wincmd p | bdel | diffoff
else
vert new | set bt=nofile | r # | 0d_ | diffthis | wincmd p | diffthis
endif
endfunction
map -leader-do :call DiffOrig() -cr-
A couple of useful (related) scripts:
DirDiff makes it easy to diff two directories with vim.
VCSCommand includes a VCSVimDiff command which will diff against a version of the current file in the VCS of your choice.
If you have 2 buffers open, running ':diffthis' in each buffer will also produce the vimdiff effect. This is handy if you have data that has not been saved to a file.
After you close one of the buffers, the remaining document will still be in 'diff' mode, with folding, ugly highlighting, etc. :diffoff does the trick.
Hi guys,
Running VIM under putty or other terminal window, if you accidentally roll the mouse-wheel will cause the actual terminal buffer to be scrolled.
I found out this can be overridden by setting:
:set mouse=a
Which will make VIM mouse sensitive even if run within a terminal window.
Rolling the mouse-wheel will make the actual vim buffer to scroll.;)
Didn´t find a way to contribute to your blog so I am leaving this comment.
Thanks,
