Accept remaining (left or right) in comparison

When doing a comparison with IntelliJ for merge conflicts, one can not use a quick option to accept all remaining line versions from one side.

Example:
- Presume we have 101 conflicts, one needs to be adapted by hand and 100 can be taken from the right side.
If I correct the one and then click “Accept Right”, my manual changes will be overwritten. The other option is to click accept and ignore 100 times, which is a lot of effort.

So, is there or can you implement an option to accept the remaining conflicts, after manual curation, from one side of the comparison?

Hello Josua,

Thanks for your feedback. IntelliJ IDEA currently provides commands to apply all non-conflicting changes from one side, as well as commands to resolve individual conflicts using the left or right side. However, the merge editor doesn't have a clearly documented command to apply the selected side to all remaining unresolved conflicts while preserving conflicts already resolved manually.

This is a valid usability request, especially for files with many conflicts. A related feature request has been tracked in YouTrack as IJPL-181781 (https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/IJPL-181781).

For now, we recommend resolving the exceptional conflicts manually first and then using the available bulk action for non-conflicting changes. Please review the result in the central pane before applying the merge, since accepting an entire side can replace existing content.

Hello Josua,

The team has provided us with additional information on this case.
1. For each conflict you want to curate by hand: right-click on that hunk in the middle pane → Resolve using Left (or Resolve using Right and pick whichever side is needed).
2. Then `Ctrl/Cmd + A` to select all in the middle pane → right-click → Resolve using Right. The hunk resolved in step 1 is now skipped; every other conflict takes the right-side values.
