file these under "PITA" with the DiffMerge tool...
 
i have about 100 files that need merging.   on each of the files, i
right-click and select 'Show Merge...'.    
 
first i get the "automatic merge results" dialog, which doesn't have the
focus on the "OK" button, so i have to physically find the OK button with
the mouse.  i can't just hit return.  (PITA)
 
this brings up the DiffMerge tool - which works great - after saving/closing
this tool, there's a dialog which pops up saying "Would you like to resolve
the merge status now?".    One problem is that the focus isn't always on
this dialog, so i have to find the OK button with the mouse to click it.  I
can't just hit return.  (PITA)  Also, there should be a "don't ever ask me
again" checkbox.
 
my biggest complaint is that the focus isn't left on the file i had selected
in the "pending change set" window.   that file should still be visible, so
i just hit "down arrow" to get to the next one, and right-click on it.
instead, the window selection seems to become "none", which makes me have to
scroll down to the one i really want.  (PITA)   when i have 100 files to
merge, this means paging down 4-5 pages to get to the final files.
 
other than these few tweaky things, the merge process is working great!
hopefully these little things can be addressed for a point release, so the
UI workflow of merging gets easier.
 
thanks,
Kirk
