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?
You can then use WinMerge's compare and merge functions to resolve the conflicts and save the merged result file. Click File → Open Conflict File, and use the Open dialog to select the conflict file in your file system.
16.0 x64 of WinMerge you can show only rows that differ by Ctrl D keyboard shortcut which is the same as menu: View -> Context difference -> Switch all rows.
In winmerge 2.16 (at least) (2020-05), you can use menu Plugins > Plugin Settings... Click on PrediffLineFilter. sct, then click on the "Plugin Settings..." button, check in "Use RegExp" check box in the corresponding column. In the "Find what" column, specify a regexp and leave the "Replace with" cell empty.

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?
