Intellij Patch dialog, configure number of unified context
Answered
Is it possible to configure number of lines of unified context when using "VCS->Create patch" dialog ?
Looking for some analogue of "diff -u" setting.
Maybe it's possible to configure it somewhere ?

No, it is not configurable.
Why do you need that?
Sometimes we use patches to communicate hotfix configuration changes between different teams.
Thouse patches are only visualizing changes to be done on another system, they are not applied directly.
On some large configs only 3 lines of context could be not enough to determine unique place for the change.
