This not good keywords, because on my KDE some hotkeys don't works (works, but by KDE :)

Well, the KDE users will sure be affected by the Ctrl-Fx bindings. I was once beaten for noticing that :)

See

Funny that it came from Oswald who now writes from a @kde.org mail ;)

Everybody has his/her own habits and favorite keybindings. Clashes happen, we cannot satisfy everyone's needs. My proposal would be not to use any "overused" keybindings or at least bring up a discussion about that.

Replying to kdave:

you can use Alt-!, Alt-@, Alt-# as alternative Ctrl+Fn

My proposal would be not to use any "overused" keybindings

Actually, do we need this if we have #1490 ???

comment:19 Changed 14 years ago by andrew_b

I think we should implement the list of recent opened files in editor or viewer -- visualization of ~/.mc/filepos. This can be done in this ticket.

comment:20 Changed 14 years ago by zaytsev

Ok I get it. Thanks.

I've implemented a simple list of recently edited files. I'm sending a patch against src/filemanager/panel.c

Note: this patch is just a proof-of-concept. It replaces the existing functionality of "directory history" which is triggered by <alt><shift>h.

If you like this patch, we will have to create a new shortcut. I suggest <alt><shift>e or <ctrl>] (next to <ctr>bksp, directory hotlist).

Ideas for improvement:

  • change title of the list to "History of edited files"
  • add keyboard shortcuts F4 to show file in editor (same as in Find files dialog)

comment:25 Changed 10 years ago by dandv

So what's the status of this feature? As an end-user, what shortcut will trigger the list of the most recently edited files?

I us this feature several hundred times a day in NDN, but its Linux port is now broken.
