winmerge

I am trying to customize the mappings for vimdiff and make them similar to winmerge

In a vertical 2 way split, I want to map alt-left <a-left> to move current diff to left side and alt-right <a-right> to move current diff to right side.

For merging i can use :diffg and :diffp. But I need to know which split i am in so that i can use :diffg/:diffp in that.

Is there any way by which i can detect which split i am in. Specifically is there is any way by which i can know whether the cursor is in left split or right split
