Note that by default Ediff uses a standalone control frame (which means
"window" in the outside world) and that frame should be selected to
enter the control commands.  Dunno if that is related to your
experiences.

Anyway, it's possible to edit the currently Ediffed buffers.  You can,
for example, copy regions from one side to the other.  The quick help
(key: ?) is your friend.  ? typed a second time removes the quick help.

It's also possible to edit the buffers manually while they are Ediffed.
You then hit ! to refresh the diff highlighting.  h to toggle the
highlighting if it distracts while editing.
