This dialog is displayed when you compare two files or two versions of a file (local changes or changes between local files and their revisions in a remote repository). You can compare files of any types, including binaries and .jar files. To open the dialog, select two files to compare or a file to compare its versions and press Ctrl+D.

The differences viewer provides a powerful editor that enables code completion, live templates, and other features.
