I desperately want a feature from certain other IDEs -a keyboard shortcut for "jump to recent files".
Ctrl-1 opens "related files" and a sub-section of that is "recent files" - this is exactly what I want, except without the intermediary step on clicking around or keyboard-navigating "related files". (well except it contains the current file on top which is utterly useless)
I am a very sparse user of keyboard shortcuts but there are a handful which I use constantly. Navigating to recent files is one of those. My workflow ususally involves modifying anywhere from 2 - 10 files at a time, so being able to jump between them without resorting to the mouse or trackpad is important.
In AppCode, for example, I get a popup window with a file filter and a list of files in the middle of the screen. It looks exactly like XCode quick open (CMD-shift-O), except it contains the most recent files sorted by most recently used. If you switch between 2 files a few times, each of those switches is nearly instant. For older files I just hit the arrow button a few times.
Maybe I overlooked it? XCode has hundreds of keyboard shortcuts, but it seems to lack the most obvious ones like this, and yank line...
Any help would be appreciated. Maybe an automator workflow can be used?
