Currently, this is how Visual Studio displays the differences between files:
I would like it to display the two files separately (including the red/green notations), as I believe is the default settings. How do I change the way it displays the differences?
Compare selected filesSelect two files in Solution Explorer and right-click to bring up the context menu. Then select Selected Files to see them side-by-side in the diff view.
locate the required file in the Solution Explorer window, right-click it and choose Compare Selected File in the context menu; open the required file in Visual Studio, right-click the required document name in the document tab well and in the document's context menu select Compare Current File.
Navigate Forward/Backward Ctrl+–/Ctrl+Shift+– If you've moved from one location to another you can use the keyboard sequence <Ctrl>+– to move to the previous location and then you can return using Ctrl+Shift+–.
Check the 'Compare Files' toolbox, there is a button for it.
Or use the keyboard shortcut Ctrl+\, Ctrl+2.
