Resizing File Views

Compared files are displayed side by side. You can change the size of the file views by dragging the Split bar between them or by right-clicking the Split bar and choosing a ratio from the context menu. When you double-click the Split bar, both views will become the same size. You can also use the following commands:

  • Maximize Left (Top) File View (the Ctrl+, key): maximize the left (top) file view (the right (bottom) view is minimized),
  • Maximize Right (Bottom) File View (the Ctrl+. key): maximize the right (bottom) file view (the left (top) view is minimized),
  • Size File Views Equally (the Ctrl+E key): both views will be the same size,
  • Toggle Full Screen (the F11 key): maximize the File Comparator window.

You can find all these commands in the File Comparator window in the View menu.
