maybe I am the only one, but I manage a lot of TT and it takes too much time for switching to different tabs to watch related bug entries, to type in search fields and to wait for the browser. I'd like to say waiting for the browser and browser wait me took me 60% time, not for slow connection but the browser has to have some time to refresh page etc and I have to move my hand from keyboard to mouse and back typing, mantis is the No.1 app that require me to switch keyboard/mouse, 5 times for a single search. typically: please let me have a list of high priority bugs about my employee Mr XXX which is related to certain category and is not a feature request. This kind of search is very frequent for me and switch keyboard/mouse at least 5 times.
I'd very very much like to see a commandline tool available for mantis. I like a rich client application much better, e.g. a console ncurses application with a lot of good shortcut keys for me to do quick search, and even cache locally the content of the bugs I just viewed to speed up operation. I am almost dreaming of something like that. I knew gforge has a commandline tool, said made use of SOAP, never tried, but think that is a good idea.
the feature I mostly need is commandline access

There are some development work on a rich client, but I'm not sure when will the first version be available:

You can easily implement a command line tool using you preferred programming / scripting language based on the MantisConnect webservice. MantisConnect is a PHP web service that has some clients already implemented, but you can implement a client in your favourite language.

I would also like to add, in regards to:
This is exactly what stored queries are for. Build the filter you would like to use, then save that query for later usage...please let me have a list of high priority bugs about my employee Mr XXX which is related to certain category and is not a feature request
