Request: Separate Recent Menu

Open manigmaX opened this issue 1 year ago • 2 comments

Please add option to show separate Recent menu. Metapad had it (see image). I love Noepad3 but miss the option to show a recent menu that can be easily accessed. Ctrl+Alt+H is too much work. recentmeta

Hello @manigmaX ,

I think the icon "History" does the job. 🤔

it does, but it requires the mouse. in metapad, the recent files menu is accessible very quickly via keyboard. Alt, Right and select the file. Its a much faster way without using the mouse or the left hand 3 button keyboard shortcut.

I don't see the need for a "recent files menu" - existing possibilities are good enough.

No worries, I am good with good old metapad.

If notepad3 implements this in future that would be great too.

Hello @manigmaX , See above, the "History" icon produces the same list... 🤔

Or in menu "File" --> "Recent (History)... Ctrl+Alt+H"

i know this, but it requires the mouse or the 3 button keyboard shortcut (which is very uneasy for me as it requires fingers from both hands to press ctrl+alt+h).

in metapad, the recent files are very easy to access simply via keyboard, just press Alt then browse the files in the 'separate Recent' menu. Its much faster way hence my OP request.
