Much Needed Change on Codeforces
By __tourist, history, 2 years ago, In English

I want to give a useful suggestion, We should have code submitting option directly below the problem statement. This feature is already in atcoder and it really helps because during contest, the website tends to load slow and first getting to the submit code tab and then submitting seems too frustrating. I would like to request MikeMirzayanov so that we can hope that we will be able to see such feature in codeforces in 2022.

Merry Christmas to all :)

    I literally spent the whole Christmas Eve looking at other LGM variants of tourist. What a great time to be alive!

    Hey SmolBrain , That doesn't work for me in brave browser :( . I am saying that the form should not have a different tab associated with it. It should be on the same page :

      Yes, this script only works on few browsers, so it would be much better if CF incorporates this feature. Also, it would be great if Mike could add an inbuilt rating predictor so that we don't have to use 3rd party extensions like carrot.

It's already at the side bar!

( you need to choose file, though
　　( actually, if your web browser can remember the path of the file, it's faster than copypasting codes
))

Why would one use a browser to submit? :rofl: Use cf-tools to submit directly from the command line instead!

    Once I tried to use my own tool for submitting from the command line, but abandoned this idea after first time I pressed <Up> <Up> <Up> <Enter> instead of <Up> <Up> <Enter>, thus resubmitting my code instead of testing it on samples

      Yeah, their cli is somewhat error-prone, I must admit. Possible solutions would be to add an extra Y/n prompt to submit, or to just abandon <Up> and type submit by hand every time. Both are not as fast, but presumably safer.
