File comparing & drag and drop

Post by Maori »

Hi there.
I love Far very much and fight for it, but I would love it even more if it provided some possibility to compare files (like in Total Commander). or does it?
and also drag & drop is just an internal feature.. well windows happen to be a window based OS (surprisingly :D), it would be nice if I could drag something into explorer window or on the desktop.. can i do that somehow?

And this is the only reason I keep TotalCommander nearby...

fc a.txt b.txt > x.txt is so uncomfortable :(
