We welcome edits that make the post easier to understand and more valuable for readers. Because community members review edits, please try to make the post substantially better than how you found it, for example, by fixing grammar or adding additional resources and hyperlinks.

When you say "What some tools do support is that you can copy changes from one file to the other in a two-file compare mode." I believe that the tools let you select differences one by one and choose if you want that difference or not, correct? Otherwise it would be just be a file replacement if all the differences are copied.

@yoyo_fun, correct. You can select on the difference level (and sometimes on the line level) if it should be copied.
