Is possible to change the default diff tool in Mercurial?

Question

Every time I do an hg diff file.ext I end up using a console diff application. I would like to use Kdiff3 or WinMerge (I\'m using Windows).

If you are looking for something like git difftool, where you don't need to type the filenames and see the diff for all changed files, add these to your ~/.hgrc, and run hg difftool.

[extensions]
extdiff =

[extdiff]
cmd.vimdiff = vimdiff

[alias]
difftool = !for file in $(hg status -n); do hg vimdiff $file; done

or for windows:

[alias]
difftool = !FOR /f %F IN ('hg status -nmar') DO hg vimdiff %F
