- The recently used files list often doesn't show the files that I've
been recently editing because I've been editing them for a long time. That is, they've remained open for a long time and I haven't had to open them. When files are constantly edited like that the list just ends up showing inconsequently files that were only looked at for short periods. Whenever a new file is added to the recently used files list, all files that are currently open should be shifted to the top of the list.
I'm not sure I understand what you mean, and want?
I guess "Recent Files" means "recently opened", not "recently used" as Ken would like. For example if you focused a document (or edited at least), in theory, it's the most recently used file, but since it's already open and maybe for a long time, it would get bumped down the recent files list.
Suggest changing "Recent Files" menu item label to "Open Recent" like at least several programs here do. IIRC it was the default label on the GtkRecentAction that was wiped-out without replacement (AFAIK) in the famous Mass-Deprecations of 2013.
@Ken, just in case you didn't see it, you can increase the number of recently opened files show in the preferences dialog, it might be a workaround at least.
