Is there a way of comparing two open files without using package explorer/project/navigator?

For large projects I dont want to be manually finding files on the left- navigator/project-explorer or package explorer. It takes too much time if project has hundreds of files.

How can I compare two files that are open in editor?:

I looked up other answers and could not find what I need. This post shows how to do it using navigator (not what I need). How to compare two files in Eclipse?

UPDATE:

I do not want to be finding other file manually in project/navigator/whatever. Takes too long.

Yes you can do that using the Eclipse, after installing the AnyEdit plugin (can be found on Eclipse Marketplace)

The plugin will show the following option:

This will show a selection dialog to you choose which editor you want to compare:

And after the selection:

There are a few discussion around this feature in the bugs 224562 and 39126, they also mention the AnyEdit workaround. It seems they did not have anyone from the community available to work on this improvement yet.
