Currently, it is only possible to silently remove duplicates with the "Remove Duplicates" button in the text editor.
A decent approach to detect duplicates is independent of the vertex position.
E.g.
Quote:3 16 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 0
and
Quote:3 16 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0
are different text lines, but logical duplicates.
The detection should ideally run after the text was modified (even a single letter input can create a duplicate).
So it can be quite time consuming to detect duplicates properly on a file with e.g. 16.000 lines.
A realtime detection is still possible...
It is an asynchronous task which runs in the background and the user does not wait for it to complete.
The implementation and testing will take about a week, if I decide to implement this feature (It's multi-threading. It is not easy.).
I created a ticket for this...
I have to finish milestone 0.8.21 first and I really would like to spend more time on writing the wiki/manual pages...
