All I want in life is an MRU file list in a text editor. That is to say, I want an on-screen window/panel with a list of Most Recently Used files with one click to switch between them (or a hot key to pop up a panel and hit 1-9 to choose the file).
I use this feature in emacs all the time. Turn on the iswitchb feature and then control-x b will show you a list of MRU files. If you just hit enter at this point it switches to your last used file. If you start typing the name of a file it will autocomplete to the best match, hit enter, and it opens that one. I often go into a source dir and say:
% emacs *.py and it opens all of the python source files in my project into buffers.
Btw I want this because I always end up editing 2 - 5 files for whatever bugfix or enhancement I'm working on. Being able to quickly and reliably flip between these files would be great. Suggestions?
Emacs has sophisticated buffer management which work great for this. -- [email protected] http://www.kernel-panic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/kplug-lpsg
