I use VSCode as my default tool to compare files (git changes and others) and I sometimes I need to see the differences in the other way than I have them opened in the viewer.
For example, suppose I have the following comparison
And I want them to be shown the other way around like Doc2 <-> Doc1
Is there a way to easily do this without closing the current comparison and opening a new one in the other order?
Anything would work, it can be a shortcut (the ideal option) or a button that I can press which I am currently missing.
This is supported in VS Code 1.86. You can use Compare: Swap Left and Right Editor Side
in the command palette.
If you want to bind it to a keyboard shortcut, the command's ID is workbench.action.compareEditor.swapSides
. See also the isInDiffEditor
context key.
If you're interested in the history, see Allow to swap left and right hand side in diff editor #20958.
