I'm using IDE 10.5 Community edition.
In one project, I have multiple modules. I also have opened multiple tabs in the editor from different modules.
Is there a way to compare the content of two different tabs in the editor, which can be from different modules?

IntelliJ IDEA lets you compare two files, one of which is present in the right folder, and another one in the left even though such files are treated as different entities.
To open the Diff & Merge page, open settings by pressing Ctrl+Alt+S and navigate to Tools | Diff & Merge. Click this button to scroll both differences panes simultaneously. If this button is released, each of the panes can be scrolled independently.
Switch between tabs To move between tabs, press Alt+Right or Alt+Left . You can also switch between recently viewed tabs or files. In the editor, press Ctrl+Tab .
Select two files (with pressed Ctrl) in project view panel → Right Mouse button → Compare Files.
Right click on the file in project view → Compare With... (Ctrl+D)
If you have opened one file in editor you can navigate in project view to another file and press right mouse button on that file Compare with Editor.
It is possible to compare file against your clipboard content. View → Compare With clipboard
Also you can use idea as external diff tool idea diff file1.txt file2.txt
Outdated; Old verison of IntelliJ: Also you can compare files from 'Commander' tab, just select two files in right and left panels, right click on any of them → Compare two files
