I know you can assign shortcuts by editing the nib file that FileMerge uses, but I have no idea how to do it.

I want to replace the "choose left" and "choose right" actions with specific keys on my keyboard (for example, left key and right key). How can I do that?

Although not published, there are shortcuts already in place. Left arrow chooses the left file change, right arrow chooses the right file change, and up and down navigate to the previous/next file change.

    This post does not answer the OP's question, i.e. how to modify and add shortcut keys. Would be great in particular to add shortcut keys for the "choose both (left first)", "choose first (right first)" and "choose neither" actions. – Adil Hussain Jul 03 '17 at 15:01

    Another useful existing shortcut is "Cmd+D" to go to the next conflict – brkeyal Feb 03 '20 at 14:02

    Still not enough shortcuts, I'm afraid. There are more actions (choose neither, choose both left/right first) and it would be very useful if there were shortcuts for them. Clicking with mouse is slow (and feels unprofessional:)). – mato Apr 24 '20 at 13:43
