Increase "recently opened" count?

[GreyWyvern]

Perhaps I am overlooking it, but is there a way to increase the number of "recently opened" files listed under the File menu? Currently it only lists 9, but I would like to list the last 25 or 30 there. I open a lot of different files during the day

But of course is sublime, u can do whatever you want

edit this file:
%appdata%\Sublime Text\Packages\Default\Pane Context.sublime-menu

Code: Select all

<menu>
   <item caption="Open" command="open"/>
   <item caption="New" command="new"/>
   <separator/>
   <item caption="&amp;%I %s" command="openRecent %i" repeat="9"/>
</menu>

See the repeat="9" put whatever number you want there for recent files

Thanks! I didn't know these were so easy to edit.

I ended up adding it under "File" in Main.sublime-menu like so:

Code: Select all

<menu caption="Open recent...">
  <item caption="&amp;%I %s" command="openRecent %i" repeat="30"/>
</menu>

... and removing the list that appears later on below, so it behaves just like my menu in Photoshop.

Nice one.

Hrms, I spoke too soon. It appears the internal ST limit is 16 previously opened files. Even though I have set repeat at 30, files past entry 16 drop off the end of the list.

You might be interested in the QuickMRU plugin, available on the repo

Good find, I guess Jon knows what to change now

Follow gpfsmurf advice with QuickMRU.
I have used QuickMRU before my totalcmd days and it was nice.
