Increase "recently opened" count?

#1

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 :smile:

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

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

[code]



[/code]

See the repeat=“9” put whatever number you want there for recent files :smile:

Thanks! I didn’t know these were so easy to edit. :smile:

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

[code]

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

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. :neutral_face:

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

Good find, I guess Jon knows what to change now :smile:

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

Thanks. I looked in my Sublime 3 for Windows installation and see I have a C:\Users\Jim\AppData\Roaming\Sublime Text 3\Packages folder, but no Default\Pane folder. If I understand, I should create such a folder. Not sure what to do after that. You refer to Context.sublime-menu. What is that? How do I create it?
