Perhaps a vim or emacs macro that builds up a list using "ls -t" ? ....hm. With vim, I can edit a directory, and then choose the sort order to be "sort by date". I can also use the :ls to list files known about in my vim editing, and can choose them with :b. If I type "vim foo bar baz", I can use :ls like so: :ls 1 %a- "foo" line 4 2 "bar" line 0 3 "baz" line 0 If I type ":e blahblah" and then do :ls, I see: :ls 2 "bar" line 0 3 "baz" line 0 4 %a "blahblah" line 1 And I can go back to other entries with :b and the number, so :b3 changes my buffer, and :ls shows it again: :ls 2 "bar" line 0 3 %a "baz" line 1 4 # "blahblah" line 1 I don't know how close this is to what you're looking for... -- No New Macros.
