When viewing the history of a file, how can you get a double-click to compare with the previous version?

Question

Using TFVC in Visual Studio, when I right-click a folder and click on View History, it opens the History view with the source location set to that folder. When I double-click a specific changeset, it opens that changeset's details in Team Explorer. Excellent. And then when I double-click a file in the Changeset Details, it automatically compares that changeset's version of the file with the previous version so I can see what actual changes were made to a file in that specific changeset. Perfect.

However, when the source location in the History view is set to a file, double-clicking a changeset just opens that version of the file rather than opening the Changeset Details. This is fairly useless, seeing as I use History to compare and not to just view. Is there a way to change the double-click behavior in this case? Opening the Changeset Details would be good. Automatically jumping to "Compare with Previous Version" would be better.

Answer 1

When you view the history for a single file , you could right click the changesest select Changeset Details or directly click the shotcut.

Then you could also see the changeset details in Team Explorer, select the specific file in changeset details, double click it, will get the same result as view a folder level history you described above.
