Perforce (OK, P4V really) sucks!

What kind of a moron gives an address bar but doesn't give it a keyboard shortcut? :mad: I have to constantly navigate between two folders in different hierarchies / repositories and I have to use the mouse (or hit Tab 17 times) to go to the address bar every time :doh: Really? Would it have killed them to bind the standard Alt+D to the address bar? I would have even settled for something else they thought up, anything! Idiots :mad:

I've been working with beasts like Perforce or ClearCase. I don't understand why companies force such idiotic and overly complex tools to their developers.

I feel your pain, my friend :) Not with this particular program, but in general with how "analog" people think about UI these days. The very first thing I notice about a website's homepage, besides the obvious overall visual impression, is how many tabs it takes to get to the search bar. It should be *ONE* tab at the very most. (vBulletin boards). Google of course has the right idea by making the search bar its primary focus, although that is to be expected, since the search bar is its only obvious input. Plenty other popular sites have the sense to auto-focus the search bar too: eBay, Wikipedia, YouTube, etc. But it gets worse quickly from there. Of the sites I use regularly: amazon.com takes 13 tabs, stockcharts.com takes 15 tabs... and sadly, codeproject.com today took 96 tabs to focus the search bar. :((

In the time it took you to find that out you could have moved the mouse and clicked on it many times over.

In less time I could have just coded the JavaScript to focus it?
