Intellij - Why are Maven and Perforce in Settings and not IDE Settings?

I would like to ask why Maven and Perforce settings have to be configured per Project. I understand that the problem is that some projects c开发者_如何学Could be pointing to other source control methods. However as part of my work I routinely recreate projects from scratch and find it a bit annoying that I have to set Maven and Perforce settings for all the projects (again it is the same thing that I do).

Does someone have any interesting shortcuts/workarounds?

File | Other Settings | Template Settings. Define your settings there and they will be inherited by all the new projects that you create.
