FEATURE REQUEST: Copy buttons for far-left and far-right panels in 3-way compare.

In a 3-way compare, there exists buttons to copy to the immediate left or right panels.
Would like to see buttons to copy to/from far-left or far-right panels (ignoring the middle panel).

My app (APP) is based on AspNetZero foundation. ANZ periodically releases upgrades. I have modified many ANZ files and added many of my own files for APP. When upgrading APP based on the vendor's code, I need the ability to copy from the far-left panel to the far-right panel.

USER SCENARIO:
Create new folder for APP v7. Copy all files from ANZ v7 to APP v7.
Compare APP v6, ANZ v6, APP v7.
If APP v6 File1 (F1) and ANZ v6 F1 are the same, and ANZ v6 F1 and ANZ v7 F1 differ, do nothing.
If APP v6 F1 and ANZ v6 are the same, and ANZ v6 F1 and APP v7 F1 are the same, do nothing.
If APP v6 F1 and ANZ v6 F1 differ, and ANZ v6 F1 and ANZ v7 F1 are the same, copy APP v6 F1 to APP v7 F1 (far-left to far-right panel).
If APP v6 F1 and ANZ v6 F1 differ, and ANZ v6 F1 and ANZ v7 F1 differ, manually merge APP v6 F1 differences to APP v7 F1 (far-left to far-right panel).

There is no input file order that will accomplish comparing the relevant files and copy/merge the selected differences.
