A Search function for Recent files (like Search History in Mozilla)

Submitted by paulflory on Thursday, 8 July, 2004 - 05:29

I hereforth propose that there be-eth a way to search recently open'd files.

Oftentimes we open and close files and afterwards wastefully rummage through our
memories and Recent Files lists to recall from whence those files came.

This post requests that recently opened files be searchable, as are visited URLs in web browsers; for example, Ctl-H in Mozilla or IE.

To further burnish the feature, throw in a way to view the dates/timestamps the files were visited. This way Jack can think/do: "Hmm.. I opened file 'earwig.xml' yesterday" then scroll to the files from yesterday and conveniently open earwig without taxing his brain.

Thanks,
Paul

Then write one...

I've written a macro that opens the last file that in my history (occasionally I accidentally double click on the tab without meaning to).

You could leverage this to perform your search:



void OpenLastBuffer() {

	LinkedList list = BufferHistory.getHistory();

	String msg = list.getFirst().path;

	

	jEdit.openFile(view, msg);

	return;

}



OpenLastBuffer();

I would take a look at implementing
public abstract class BufferListSet

Unfortunately, I'm not the greatest at Java, so I can't really help you out there. But you should be able to take the list from
BufferHistory.getHistory();
and shove it into there somehow.

Then, call this method with your SnR,

SearchAndReplace.setSearchFileSet(myCustomFileSet);.

If you manage this, let me know. This sounds very useful.

Good luck!
