Feature Request
By IngaleAnkur10, history, 3 years ago, In English

Please do let me know if this exists already.

Many programmers (including me) use two or more programming languages in a single contest. But searching them before submission is a bit time consuming.

One way to solve this is to have a favorites section where we add our languages beforehand. During a contest, putting the favorites mode on should only give us our selected languages. This way it will be very time-saving.

Comment your thoughts on this idea.

You can implement this feature yourself by using a tampermonkey script. Just select the dropdown language selector menu and remove some of the children(languages that you don't need) using Javascript.

The language field supports autocomplete. For instance, when I focus the field and type py, Python 2.7.18 gets selected immediately, then I press down arrow to select Python 3.9.1. Similarly, Java gets chosen when typing java or java[space]. Of course this is not an ideal solution and your idea would be nice, but knowing how Codeforces admins respond to feature requests, this may be the only workaround.
