To easily compare folders, use:
tf.exe folderdiff folderA folderB

As long as you’re not using a server path ($/../../ etc), there’s no need to supply a TFS Project Collection Uri.

Is there any keyboard shortcut or similar to compare 2 random side by side files a la Notepad++’s Compare plugin from within the IDE?

Worth it only if they make it work / look like Kompare, that looks awesome.

I have not checked but definitely merge feature should be there. Diff and merge are important activities for distributed teams. Thanks for sharing.

Looks nice, but would have to see full features to see if it makes having license for beyond compare.

It’s awesome to see that they will finally have a good built in diff tool (hopefully it includes merge). Thanks for sharing. I have to confess though, I prefer the “aligned” UI that it appears to have natively to the Kompare UI. I’ve used P4 merge, which also uses the colored sections to show alignment, like Kompare does. It’s probably my weak mind, but I do much better when the lines of code stay aligned so that I can look across left to right and see more clearly where the lines of code align.

compare folders – this sounds pretty good! so this could be a nice alternative to DiffMerge.
