Hi @gbritton1 , thanks for the screenshots! They helped me to understand what's happening. You need to have the 2 tabs open side-by-side as this command compares 2 "visible" editors. Looks like what you're after is #33 😉

Yea I have this open side by side and it still says "Please first open 2 documents to compare".

So why not let user choose the file to compare. User can choose which one of the opened files to compare Splitting the window is a redundant action

That's not what the error message says: "Please first open 2 documents to compare" It doesn't say they have to be open side-by-side
