Feature Request - Add a way to only copy some data when comparing json files

[xdeiimoss]

An option should be added when comparing two json files. One that would allow users to copy only selected keys to the other panel.
For example, I know that I have some data on the left panel that I wouldn't like to have in the right panel, so I select the keys that I want to copy.

Another good thing that is related to this is basically adding a way to just add a list of keys that you want to be copied from one to another. In this example, I would like to have the viewerFlags, history, lastModifiedAt, favoriteModifiedAt, version and customStatus

Would this be possible?
Thank you in advance

Moving this idea to the discussions section, let's discuss there further.

It's interesting to think this through, though I'm not sure there is a quick solution to this. I think it also depends on your use case.

1. One use case could be comparing two versions of a document and wanting to pick only a selection of the changes, like with a git diff.
2. Another use case is more generic: implement support for multi selection, so you can copy/paste that. See [Feature Request] select multi individual items #356
3. If this is a matter of a repetitive action, it may be interesting to write a Transform query to transform from one to the other.

Just thinking aloud here :)

I feel like the 1st option would be best in my case personally...

I think both the first and the second, and also add the "select added/deleted/unchanged" buttons to the menu, create and select hunks.
