Is there a way to make the MRU only list files from the current project?
I'm working on multiple projects right now, and the MRU is showing files across projects, whereas I would prefer to have each vim session only show the files of that project.

Hi,
Thank you for this plugin which I've been using for a long time!

In your README.md, you mention fzf.vim's : History doesn't work for you. I'm curious, would you mind sharing how CtrlP is different from : History, and specifically the use cases you found missing?

Thanks much!

Apologies if this is possible already and I've missed it in the documentation.

What I would like is to have all of the current directory FZF results available, but sorted by recency first, then FZF sort order afterwards; so that I can find any file in my project that I'm looking for, but have the most recent available first.

Is this possible?

Me, I use Vim for composing emails with Mutt. And all those temporary files /private/var/folders/something/something/T/mutt-* also do appear in the MRU listing :)

Is there a way to remove items from MRU list when file is deleted from file system?

Thanks!

Is there a hardcoded value for how many files are kept in the MRU source fed to fzf? I'd like to be able to set this to be infinitely large - I'm seeing some files I opened recently are not showing up after I opened a couple hundred new files yesterday. Thanks!

Hi,

I was wondering if it would be okay to add a global variable like g:fzf_mru_multi or something similar to allow selection of multiple files. I don't want rely on adding --multi option to the global FZF options, since that breaks some of the other commands like Ctrl-r recent commands history.

I would be ready to create a PR to add this support if you think this is a valid request.

Thanks,

I've been using this plugin for a while. Then yesterday I (re)installed ctrlp.vim to check something, and I noticed that fzf-mru.vim stopped adding new files to its cache. When I removed ctrlp.vim, it started updating again. Not sure where the conflict is.

I've noticed that there are duplicates in the file list displayed when there is a case difference. In my case it could just be the drive letter (C: vs c:) on Windows.

Obviously, some OSs have case-sensitive file names but even those it would be unusual to differentiate two files just by case!

However, to cater for both groups, please could you add (if it's not already there!), a variable to allow or disallow duplicates.

According to the documentation let g:fzf_mru_exclude_current_file = 0 should include the current file, but setting this has no effect.

I managed to fix this by changing

  if !empty(s:excur)

to

    if {s:excur}

At line 157 in mrufiles.vim

Hey all,

I'm trying to have a shared MRU cache between 3 of my workspaces (all of which are git checkouts of the same repository), which live in the following folders:

• /path/to/workspace1/src
• /path/to/workspace2/src
• /path/to/workspace3/src

Based on the documentation I tried to use g:fzf_mru_store_relative_dirs like this:

let g:fzf_mru_store_relative_dirs = [ 
      \ '/path/to/workspace1/src',
      \ '/path/to/workspace2/src',
      \ '/path/to/workspace3/src'
      \ ]

but that simply seems to break the MRU functionality.

Could anyone here help me understand how to get this to work?

Thanks in advance!

I am trying to pass some setting/window size options to FZFMru, following the convention I have found on main fzf page

However I can't seem to make it work and looking at the source code of this plugin, it seems it's not possible to modify FZFMru command to accept additional arguments.

For example, I have something like this in my init.vim:

command! -bang -nargs=? Files call fzf#vim#files(<q-args>,
    \  {'window': {'width': 0.9, 'height': 0.6},
    \  'options': ['--reverse']}, <bang>0)

Is it possible to change the behavior of FZFMru to accept arguments like that?

The MRU files are originally sorted by recency, which is great. But as I start typing, the file list no longer stay sorted by recency, but is seemingly randomly sorted (probably by some FZF algorithm). This isn't very helpful because i'd still like the files i most recently opened to show up top on the MRU list if they are a match.

I think this can be easily fixed by adding a "--no-sort" param here:
https://github.com/pbogut/fzf-mru.vim/blob/master/plugin/fzf_mru.vim#L32

I'm happy to send a PR if we agree this is a better user experience. :)

Steps to reproduce:

1. install https://github.com/tpope/vim-fugitive
2. install this fzf-mru.vim
3. open vim in a non git controlled dir
4. call FZFMru
   Result:

• File is opened with [Read error], needing to use ! to write it (call :file command in vim to see)
• This error is shown:

Error detected while processing function 268[30]..<SNR>70_callback[23]..function 268[30]..<SNR>70_callback:
line   21:
Vim(return):E700: Unknown function: <SNR>70_repo_dir

See this screencast for visual detail:

Removing vim-fugitive removes this eror.

Similar to #6.

I opened/edited the apps/backoffice/generic/views/event.py file, but when I run :FZFMru it's not included in the list:

But, it's already in the .cache/fzf_mru/cache.txt entries:

and the fzf.vim's :History detected it as well:

It will only be detected when I exit Neovim and open Neovim again. When is the MRU List being updated? Why it's working in fzf.vim but not in this plugin? Maybe need to double-check/compare the mechanisms?

Setup:

• Mac OS - Mojave
• Neovim 0.6

BTW, thanks for this plugin. It really has some convenient options. Although this issue is kinda big deal to me since the user would want to query also the recently closed file without exiting Neovim. :)

Unless I close the vim and restart again, any files opened are not added to mru list.

There is not proper documentation. Optimal solution is to add a doc/fzf-mru.txt file in Vim help format, but I would propose a minimal solution is to update the README to document everyhing.

An example of something that is missing: the g:fzf_mru_exclude option.
