Gobble common leading whitespace

[BWindey]

Hi, I really like this tool, but there is one thing that I would want to improve: gobble leading whitespace for a diff-view.
With some longer lines that are a few indentations deep, you get this:

with a lot of room to remove common leading whitespace.

I've searched through the help-page and this github page, but have not seen something that achieves that yet.
Have I missed something, or is this something I can turn into a feature request?

Thanks in advance!

That is no something delta can or could easily be made to do. This would require a lot of look-ahead, maybe even for the entire hunk to ensure the correct number of leading whitespace is determined. A simpler, separate program could parse the git output, count leading white-space, and replace it, then feed it to delta, e.g. pager = "common_leading_whitespace_fix | delta"

What is the format that delta expects?
Is it the same that a normal git diff outputs without pager?

Yes, that's right.

Alright, thanks. I'll see if I can create something or find some stuff I can throw together.
