Vimdiff line count of different lines

Question

is there a way to number the lines that are different in vimdiff? Is there a way to count the lines that are different in vimdiff?

If you need to indicate something about the version of your vim or what is supported, you can edit the question body to do so; tags can be discussed on Vi and Vim Meta — D. Ben Knoble, Mar 10, 2021 at 19:54

You can see which lines are different in diff mode:

echo filter(range(1, line('$')), 'diff_hlID(v:val, 1) == hlID("DiffChange") || diff_hlID(v:val, 1) == hlID("DiffText")')

How do I use this? When I put this on the command line this is what I see :>echo filter(range(1, line('$')), 'diff_hlID(v:val, 1) == hlID("DiffChange") || diff_hlID(v:val, 1) == hlID("DiffText")') bash: syntax error near unexpected token (' `.

When I put this in vim this is what I see E117: Unknown function: range E116: Invalid arguments for function filter(range(1, line('$')), 'diff_hlID(v:va l, 1) == hlID("DiffChange") || diff_hlID(v:val, 1) == hlID("DiffText")') E15: Invalid expression: filter(range(1, line('$')), 'diff_hlID(v:val, 1) == hlI D("DiffChange") || diff_hlID(v:val, 1) == hlID("DiffText")') Hit ENTER or type command to continue .

@cokedude it works for me, maybe your vim version is too old?
