TFS shortcut to compare a modified file with the latest version

Question

Right now I have to pull up Pending Changes window, right-click on the file and select Compare->With Latest Version... Is there a faster way to look at my modifications?

Answer 1

Another alternative could be to set up an alias in Command Window and use it. To bring up the compare window: Open Command Window (ctrl + alt + A) Set alias for File.TfsCompare

alias diff File.TfsCompare

Next time you need to do the compare, type 'diff' and hit enter in the command window. 'diff' is an alias name, could be set to whatever of your choice. If you want to delete alias, use

alias aliasName /d
