> should I risk being labelled incompetent That depends on if you are incompetent or not. No, seriously - it's very hard to judge the level of your own skills, both technical and others. Try to find a senior dev who is not a total asshole and go ask them. If they worked with you earlier, it's all the better, but probably any experienced dev (who's not an asshole) will do. Just tell them honestly what you're doing, what you're struggling with, what you did in your previous work, things like this. This should be enough for any decent senior to tell you how skilled - relatively to others - you are. Would it be easy to change the job? Which kind of development (embedded, mobile, ...?) would be the most natural for you to pick up? What would you need to learn to change your domain to something else than your current one? Just have a little chat and you'll at least know your options much better. And also, if you're unable to find a well-meaning, non-asshole senior dev in your company you should be out of there already!

"Focus follows mouse" is what I use to keep the file manager from popping up when click-dragging files.
The biggest problem with this is if the target URL doesn't load but also doesn't quickly error out, like e.g.
Google wants to build up a private web here.
