Hi!

If I have a file opened in Geany with unsaved modifications, is there a simple way to get a diff to the corresponding stored file?

Unless there is something hidden in a plugin or one of the external plugins, no.

I know that I can use the GeanyVC plugin to get a diff to the most recent version committed in the VC system, but this is not exactly what I want, because in most cases the stored file was not yet committed to the VC system.

And Geanyvc stores the buffer to the file before calling the VCS since no VCS can access the buffer in memory.

Perhaps the GeanyVC plugin could have this as an additional function?

Not really a VC function, what your new plugin would have to do is to store the buffer contents into a temporary file and compare that (using external diff tools such as meld if you like).
