recently.el

===========

Track recently opened files to visit them again

Usage

-----

**`M-x recently-mode`** Start saving file paths on visiting them

**`M-x recently-show`** Display buffer that shows list of recently visited files

Why not recentf?

----------------

Of course built-in `recentf` is a great package, but it does not have some

features that I would appreciate if it had:

- Record directories visited with dired

  - `recentf-ext` also provides this, but this sometimes adds too many

    entries

  - `recently` records only the "deepest" paths when going into

    subdirectories

- Share the file list among multiple Emacs instances

  - `sync-recentf` also provides this, but the sync can only be

    triggered with timer

  - `recently` saves and restores the list every time, if necessary,

    when adding files and reading the list

- Do not remove entries that are not found in filesystems

  - Today it is common that a file is not found temporarily,

    for example when using some VCSes like Git

- Use `tabulated-list-mode` to show the list, instead of a special

  mode for this
