在emacs中打开最近的文件

Question

I recently upgraded my emacs (version 24.3), but i lost a function that was very convenient, and could not figure out the solution easily by google, so i wish i can get help here (which is always the case when i have problems with computer)

i remember my emacs can find recent file even the file is not in current editing folder. eg, i am editing fileA in pathA, and i want to open a fileB that is in PathB/, i just press Cx Cf, type fileB, emacs automaticall find the fileB in PathB, and auto-complete the full path to fileB in the mini buffer. Dont know what package enables such function but it was there before my upgrading.

thanks alot!

Answer 1

this is the key to the issue:

(setq ido-auto-merge-work-directories-length 0)

thanks to all anyway

Answer 2

听起来您正在使用ido ，请尝试打开ido-use-virtual-buffers 。

(setq ido-use-virtual-buffers t)

Answer 3

The obvious answer is library recentf.el , which comes with Emacs. See, for example, command recentf-open-files .

But be aware that other, more general-purpose libraries can sometimes extend recentf.el features, making them more useful.

• One such is Icicles multi-command icicle-recent-file .

• Another is Icicles multi-command icicle-buffer ( Cx b by default), which can include recently visited files (with their paths) as candidates for buffer switching. Cx R during completion toggles whether such candidates are included.
