How can I get WinMerge to keep left and right?

Tags:

winmerge

Using the TFS merge tool, I can click on the left side and the right side to keep both changes/conflicts. This is needed when I add a method and another team member adds a method in the same place and I need to keep them both. In WinMerge (file merge, not folder), it seems that I can only overwrite the right with the left. Is it possible to make WinMerge copy the left to the right, and keep the right?

No, but you can type on the right side and also copy and paste from the left side to the right side.

I think you're looking for Merge capability. I've seen it in TortoiseMerge but not in WinMerge (though there may be some way to do it). Can you simply copy-and-paste manually from one side to the other?
